Mobile, Distributed Knowledge Workers • Public Sector Pressures • Government “On Line” / E-Gov Initiatives • Keep public sector on cutting edge of technologies to deliver services to constituents • Need to understand both limits and possibilities of new communication platforms • Internal paperwork reduction mandates

Challenges: Technology Rapidly Evolving • Slippery Slope of Instant Communication • Managers, Executives and Remote Workers become dependent on instant access to messaging capabilities • More data and information demanded • Access to documents and records • Be notified when certain events occur or information is completed • Ability to act on documents received • Know when colleagues are available
Challenges: Technology Rapidly Evolving • E-Mail • Many organizations still grappling with management of e-mail volume • Types of devices which can send and receive e-mail exploding • Broader use of Laptops and Wired Homes • Cell phones • Other PDAs: Blackberries, Palm Pilots • Structured Capture, Control and Management of E-mails • Still lagging compared to other electronic document forms • IT staff often still exerts lifecycle management authority • Often loss or inappropriate storage of e-mails which should be considered organizational records
Challenges: Technology Rapidly Evolving • E-Mail • Rate of adoption will continue to grow exponentially • IDC Survey, September 2002 • 16.2 billion messages per day worldwide, growth rate of 19% per year • Projecting 60 billion per day by 2006 • Continued proliferation of e-mail enabled-devices • Ubiquitous messaging, connectivity • Becoming dominant form of business communication
E-Mail Challenges • AIIM: 25% to 50% daily on e-mail tasks • Gartner: Over 75% of organizational know-how is buried in e-mail • 34% of business e-mail is unnecessary (occupational spam) • Survey by the AMA / U.S. News & World Report / ePolicy Institute finds: 50% of the largest U.S. companies have no e-mail retention and deletion policy in place
E-mail Integrity • Authentic, trustworthy, and complete e-mail records • Must capture who, what, when, and where of original e-mail messages to have legal or business value as records – message metadata • Header information • Body Content • Attachments • Signatures • “An e-mail printed to paper without its routing information and metadata is simply a piece of paper with words on it.”
Challenges: Technology Rapidly Evolving • New Channels of Communication • Web Sites • On Line Collaboration • Text Messaging • Camera Phones • Instant Messaging • Wireless Networks
Challenges: Technology Rapidly Evolving • Next Wave of Information Explosion • Next generation of electronic records created through these new channels • How will organizations capture these records and ensure they are managed according to records principles? • Compliance Risks • Preservation Concerns • How do we apply same business rules and lifecycle requirements to this next generation of records? • What gap in the organizational or archival history will occur if we don’t plan now?
Challenges: Technology Rapidly Evolving • Organizations Driven by Productivity Gains from Mobility • Even most basic devices can immediately garner 10% efficiency gain for individual user (Gartner Research, March 2003) • Communication Platform does not release organization from meeting mandated industry regulations or corporate transparency legislation • Technologies that lend themselves to strong record keeping practices need to be evaluated
