THE NEXT CIMTECH course will be Electronic Content and
Document Management Systems on 26-27 March. This is a two-day introduction
to the technologies, applications and business benefits and points to
consider to ensure successful implementation in your organisation.
It is aimed at business, project and IT managers—indeed
anyone who needs a review of the business benefits and management issues
posed by ECM, wants a checklist for successful project management, has
to make decisions about platform and support. Others who will gain much
from the course are records managers and documentation specialists who
are engaged in implementing these systems, and suppliers and integrators
of ECM systems who need a comprehensive review of ECM systems.
Cimtech’s other spring course is on 20 May and
is entitled Electronic content and records management for e-government
and e-business. All public sector organizations are planning and implementing
an e-business strategy and preparing for electronic content and records
management. This annual conference and exhibition focuses on these two
core platforms for e-government and e-business.
Both events will be run at our regular venue, the Fielder
Centre, Hatfield, Hertfordshire.

IN ITS fourteenth year, the 2003 edition of Cimtech’s
Document, content and records management guide is due to be published
at the end of this month. Many thanks to everyone who returned their questionnaires
supplying details of their company’s products and services. As its
title indicates its scope has been widened to reflect recent developments
in all aspects of document, content and records management. The cover
price of the 2003 edition remains unchanged and so again represents excellent
value for money.

to the theory and practice of document, content and records management.

practitioners needing to keep abreast of developments in this vital aspect
of modern business. The Directory provides details of the current products
