March 8th Presentation Topic: Cloud Collaboration Strategies and Technologies
Cloud computing has spawned a new industry with many different technologies and applications including new approaches to document management, workflow, and storage not to mention new approaches to buying and managing software. This presentation will help the user understand cloud-collaboration technologies including document management, records management, preservation, legal, workflow, and storage. Mr. Porter-Roth will also review benefits and risks, as well at touch upon emerging governance issues. Because the cloud-collaboration technologies are changing rapidly, there is no clear strategy or road map that has emerged for adopting these technologies, but we will discuss what are the current options and trade-offs.
Who Should Attend: Information management users and managers; information technology managers; records managers; and executive managers who are interested in learning about cloud-based document/records management applications. The presentation will be from the business side of the table and will be non-technical.
Speaker Bio: Bud Porter-Roth has over 20 years of experience as a document/records management consultant with a focus on electronic document management, document imaging, workflow, and records management. Mr. Porter-Roth is the past president of the AIIM San Francisco Golden Gate Chapter, and is a member of the SharePoint User Group, AIIM, and ARMA.
