  • Are you making these common email knowledge management mistakes?

    US computer engineer Ray Tomlinson sent the first email back in 1971. The World Wide Web wasn’t invented until 18 years later, when CERN computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee came up with a solution sharing information on different computers. While email began as a simple communication tool, it’s had almost 45 years to evolve. Today it is also widely used as an information and storage platform. Instead of deleting an email after it is read, for example, most people archive or file it away for later reference.

  • Paperless push for Clinical Care

  • IRS admits email fail

    The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the huge US government agency that processes more than 230 million tax returns annually, has revealed its inability to preserve its employees’ emails and track those records down when needed.

  • Using Predictive Analytics to Identify Cyber Security Risks

    In today’s fast-moving, dynamic digital environment, there is no crystal ball that can tell you the form or target for the next cyber-attack. The IT product development cycle has become so fast and cantered on functionality that security is rarely in focus. Most developers assume that the layers upon which they build provide the necessary security. Unfortunately, the platforms upon which most of these systems have been built are porous, and attackers are actively looking to exploit the holes in these systems at all levels.

  • Embedding Referential Metadata in PDFs Is a Good Idea

    PDF standards enable users to embed or include non-visible metadata within PDFs as attribute name and attribute value pairs. This feature can be used to embed referential metadata normally stored and used external to the files to help find or otherwise work with them. Here are some reasons why embedding metadata values can be a good idea:

  • Why Data is the Forgotten Element

    For many industries data is not seen as a principle part of its operations, even in industries or companies where data is regarded as required; it is often subservient to the elements of its main business and therefore even those organisations/teams with departments such as ‘Information Management’; data is forgotten about, or disregarded, by many people as they focus on what they see as the important matter at hand.
