It’s been awhile since I posted a new blog. Things have been quite busy for me – traveling around the globe to talk with customers and partners about the information governance imperative. It’s a very exciting time @ RSD. There are two incidents that occurred this week regarding information governance.
Not only am I the vendor, I am also a user. I have been using electronic bill...
(This is the second in a three part discussion on Information Governance. For the first part, see What's So Special About Lebanon, Kansas.)
Sorry for the delay in posting the continuation of our series here. It’s been a crazy time for us at RSD. Since last time, we’ve visited customers in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Washington DC, and Texas, sharing our vision for...
It is with great pride that I can announce today major news for RSD and for the information governance community:...
If you are from Lebanon, Kansas (I'm not), you already know the answer to my question. Don't spoil it for everyone else. The rest of you will have to read through this entry to find out. No scrolling please.
I mentioned a week or so ago that I would be posting a three-part series, introducing Information Governance in terms that are familiar to anyone...
Greetings! While Tamir does an outstanding job keeping the RSD Blog fresh and interesting and relevant, the fact is he has quite a lot on his plate. This week, for example, he’s in Geneva, working with the marketing team there on some new deliverables, and sharing some of what we all learned last week at LegalTech. In addition, he is also preparing for next week’s webinar (you’re...
I was fortunate enough to attend this year’s LegalTech at the Hilton in New York. This was my fourth LegalTech and certainly thought it was well attended despite the weather across the nation. 
Overall, the event...
A couple of weeks ago, I attended a Webinar titled “The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) Standard: What is it and Where is it Going?” The Webinar gave great insight into the standard with great use cases on how organizations can and should leverage the standard. A few immediate things popped up during the event...
It’s the time of the year where experts and critics provide a “top 10” list. I promise not to bore you with exhaustive list of predictions; lessons learned, or industry trends. When it comes to information governance, here are three things to look for in 2011.
Historically, the records management department was responsible and accountable for defining and managing the...
I just got back from attending ARMA 2010 in San Francisco. I have been to hundreds of conferences before including past ARMA events and have to say this was one of the most exciting events in recent years. This year, RSD was a silver sponsor and created a huge buzz on the tradeshow floor for a number of reasons.
First, RSD would like to thank all the...
In the next couple of days, I will be heading out west to San Francisco for the ARMA International conference. I have been to ARMA before and certainly looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. I will also be curious to see how many records management vendors will be “repositioning” their products as an information governance solution.
Information governance is becoming a...
I have been in the information management industry for 14 years and proud to say that I wouldn’t give it up for anything. I have seen this market evolve from output management to imaging/workflow, document management, web content management, records management, email archiving, ECM vendor consolidation, open source ECM, Microsoft dominating (again) with SharePoint, and now information governance. For the last 12 months, I have been focusing on information governance – talking to countless...

I was at a barbecue over this past weekend having a general discussion on the latest news, global economy and hottest technology trends when somehow the topic of Don Rumsfield’s infamous speech about known unknowns came up. This speech goes back to February 12, 2002 when former United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld made a statement relating to the unstable situation in post-invasion Afghanistan. As I was driving home, it occurred to me the "there are known knowns..." statement...
