ORLANDO, FL (Laserfiche)—October 17, 2010—Laserfiche (booth #305), a key sponsor of the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, will deliver a special educational session titled “Unlocking Organizational Agility with Effective Information Governance.” The session will take place on Wednesday, October 20, from 12:30-1:30 pm at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel – Oceanic 7.

“Too many organizations equate ‘information governance’ with ‘information lock-down,’” said Andy Wang, director of ECM Strategy at Laserfiche. “But a successful information governance strategy accelerates decision-making, increases transparency and eliminates unnecessary compliance risks. It’s a way to foster organizational agility, and it’s most effective when there’s a nimble technology backbone in place.”

Enterprise content management (ECM) serves as a foundational component of information governance, using automation to ensure the standardization and reliability of information assets. Agile ECM systems from Laserfiche give the IT department central control over the information infrastructure, while at the same time granting business units control over the way they access and store their own information. This flexibility ensures swift system acceptance and the ability to react quickly to changing business conditions.

During his presentation, Wang will discuss the crucial role of automation and standardization in information governance. “Best practices for process-based manufacturing have been in place for decades,” he said. “Imagine how much more efficient your organization would be if it were able to apply the same principles to the way it manages and processes information.”

Other factors that play an important role in shaping an effective information governance strategy include people, policies and risk management.

Laserfiche will be on hand at booth #305 throughout the event to demonstrate its agile ECM solutions.
