About the group

The Intellect Document Management Group aims to bring together members with an interest in the document management field in order to facilitate greater understanding by both the supply community and customers of the capabilities of current document management. This in turn will enable members to take advantage of market opportunities developed through this greater understanding.

The Group is currently developing a series of thought-provoking White Papers, which will cover a variety of topics including:

• Content Governance
• Risk and Regulatory Compliance
• Open Document Formats
• Document Management for SMEs

Document management white papers

The group’s first paper, ‘Document management concerns the whole board – a guide for all directors’ was launched at a reception on 21 November 2007. Aimed at non-technical board-level executives, it has been written to help organisations understand and come to terms with the information-heavy future that organisations everywhere are facing.

A supporting paper 'Implementing document management – recommended practices and lessons learned’ has also been produced. This provides advice and guidance on how to implement document management solutions, looking at issues that arise specifically in document management projects.

The third paper in the series, ‘An approach to maximising your investment’, is aimed at organisations that are already familiar with the concept of document management, and have already bought into the business case for it. It assists those who are ready to embark on a new document management programme of work, or indeed already have a document management solution in place but have plans for further work in this area.

The fourth paper in the series, ‘Collaborative Working Environments’, aims to help public and private sector organisations running projects and programmes that face the challenges of forming teams across disciplines, on different sites, or working across time zones.

Aims and objectives  

The Document Management Working Group will seek to improve the understanding of document management both within the industry and externally to customer organisations, with a view to opening up the market for providers of document management. The group will achieve through a number of methods.
