I was recently sent the first issue of Infonomics Weekly by AIIM. This newsletter is an offshoot of Infonomics (formerly AIIM E-DOC Magazine and Inside ECM eNewsletter) and will supplement the print (and digital) magazine. There is a question of the week and a series of practical articles. In addition, a listing of upcoming AIIM events and offerings: live events, in person and on the Web; upcoming training classes; AIIM membership offerings; all there for a quick synopsis of AIIM in the next month. I am planning to attend their session, Automating Document-centric Processes – Is SharePoint Enough? on October 16 in Boston.
I liked the piece on To SaaS or Not to Saas by Dan Carmel - Five Tests to Determine Whether On-Demand Document Management is Right for Your Organization. They include: First, if your application does need one or more components not often found in an off-the-shelf and integrated package, SaaS is a good option. Second, if you don’t have months or even weeks to allow for the standard IT process, and the looming risk of delay is unacceptable, SaaS is a good option. Third, if your project is restricted to a limited budget, or you want to limit your upfront budget and link cash outlays to the benefits received, SaaS is a good option. Fourth, if it is critical that your software application evolve easily as your needs change and new technologies emerge, SaaS is a good option. Fifth, can you ccomplish your goals with an 80 percent solution—one that provides all the key functionality that you need but maybe not every bell and whistle that you desire, if so SaaS is a good option.
This should be a good resource.
