- Document Management Group - White Paper Launch

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.

Current activities

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

Collaborative Working Environments
Document Management: How to secure a return on investment
Content Governance
Risk and Regulatory Compliance

The White Papers will be launched at a seminar on 18 June 2008, which will provide an opportunity for members to hear from the Group’s executive committee, and also the authors of the reports. This event will be the first in a series of summer seminars that will look in detail at key issues of interest relating to document management.

This programme of events follows the successful launch of the Group’s first two documents:

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. For more information or to download either paper, please follow the links on the right side of the page.

If you are interested in becoming involved in the work of the Group, or have ideas for activities that you think the Group should consider, please contact Ben Andersen-Tuffnell (contact details below).
