Status of Information Management at Most Organizations? Pretty Bad

Next week, we'll be releasing our annual "State of the Industry" survey at the AIIM On Demand Show. This week, we'll be providing some sneak previews of the data for blog readers.

At a basic level, most organizations report a distinct lack of confidence in their information management systems -- a particular concern given the criticality of these systems to both risk avoidance and process effectiveness. When asked to evaluate the state of their information management systems on a scale of 1 ("terrible") to 10 ("excellent"), 33% report results of 4 or less -- hardly a ringing endorsement of their competency.
