Information Governance and ECM with Priscilla Emery

According to IBM, 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone.  About around 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is created everyday — everything from documents and records, to email, text messages, social media, images, video…and everything in between. As a result, many organizations are easily amassing terabytes—even petabytes—of information. All of it admissible in a court of law. Indeed, this information can often be the “smoking gun” that trial lawyers look for win the case or force a settlement.

Priscilla Emery

Our guest, Priscilla Emery, a respected ECM expert focused on records management, will discuss information governance,  discovery and audits…and how companies must adjust their document strategies in order to mitigate legal and regulatory risk. How can you manage the convergence of traditional records management with the ever-evolving content management demands for e-mail, social media and Cloud-based documents?  What steps should you take today to ensure your information governance and document strategies are prepared? All of this and more in this month’s episode.

“The Power of Data”  – Interview with data guru, Mark Donatelli

In today’s data-driven business environment information equals power. Power to understand, power to personalize and power to make more intelligent business decisions. But harnessing the power of data takes a thoughtful strategy and a customer-centric approach. That’s what I’ll be discussing with this month’s guest, data guru Mark Donatelli.  Mark is the director of Global Data Services at Acxiom where he works with multinational, consumer-focused companies on four continents to design strategies for data-driven marketing. I’ll ask Mark about harnessing the power of data to drive better communications and ultimately more profitable relationships with customers. Plus, he’ll explain what he calls the “zero moment of truth” when customers are most likely to buy and how can companies position themselves to take advantage of that moment of truth.
