Social Media 'Impacts on Corporate America'
As a Board Member of the local Association for Image & Information Management AIIM® Chapter in Seattle, WA. I have been presenting some concepts for how to adopt Social Media in the Corporate and Government sectors. Compliance and Productivity are primary concerns for Business Executives and Agency Directors.
In my role as Chief Technology Officer at ImageSource® I began spearheading efforts to adopt the use of Social Media tools in 2009. In stark contrast to the perception that productivity would decrease we have seen the exact opposite, we have increased employee productivity, enhanced our corporate community and collected important intellectual property. Compliance has been achieved by incorporating ILINX® Content Management solutions for archiving social feeds, blogs and tweets. Policies similar to that for email and instant messaging provide rules and guidelines so that these new communication tools are used according to corporate directives and governance.
Feedback from my recent presentations has been very positive. Comments from attendees:
“Shadrach hit the nail on the head when he said Web 2.0 is a tool, like email. Records policies can be applied once that information is captured.”
“I thought that Shadrach had a timely message to deliver regarding the path our business and other communications are headed in. His examples were well-chosen and relevant.”
“I was especially struck by the point of differentiation between static web pages and dynamic interfaces. It made me think about all kinds of areas where this is relevant.”
