State of the ECM Industry 2009http://www.aiimhost.com/Infonomics/April/ECM_SOTI_2009.JPG
In its annual State of the ECM Industry research report, AIIM has found that managing electronic documents is still a challenge for 47% of organizations, and that modern communication channels such as instant messages, text messages, blogs and wikis are largely off the corporate radar for 75% of businesses.

 

The research also found that whereas two years ago compliance was the main driver for bringing this content into a controlled and searchable environment, cost savings and efficiency are now the main motivating factors.
