Document & Records Management

Despite more than 10 years of concerted effort to encourage a digital transformation of Australia’s federal government agencies, only two thirds “always or almost always” work digitally by default i.e. create, store and manage information digitally. This is one of a number of issues of concern contained in the latest Checkup Plus survey by the National Archives of Australia, which shows government paper archives continue to grow.

Findings from the global State of Cybersecurity 2021, Part 2 survey report from ISACA in partnership with HCL Technologies, not only shows 41% of Australian and New Zealand respondents report an increase in cyberattacks on their organisation during the last year, but 62% expect that their organisation will experience a cyber-attack in the twelve months ahead.

With the pandemic pushing life further online and remote work becoming the norm, companies face growing risks and challenges with “dark data” – data collected and stored but never used. Much of this “dark data” hides in documents, spreadsheets and content scattered across the enterprise on shared drives, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint. 

Chief Techology Officer (CTO) Raf Hens is one of the longest-tenured members of the iText team. Responsible setting the strategy and direction for the organization, here he lays out his vision for IDM.

As Australians prepare for Census night on August 10, experts have warned that Cyberattackers around the world are preparing to cause a repeat of the 2016 debacle.

In 2014, the City of Nedlands introduced SharePoint to replace its TRIM records management system. In 2016, the WA Local Government Authority’s IT manager recommended to the Chief Executive Officer that the Records Management unit be abolished. Shortly thereafter all 5 positions within the Records Management Section were made redundant.

​The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digital transformation like never before and in particular the need for a digital mailroom.

​Nitro Software has announced the launch of Nitro Sign as a standalone subscription product as part of a new pricing and packaging model for the Nitro Productivity Platform.

Box has added native e-signature capability, to users of its Business and Enterprise plans at no additional cost. Box Sign delivers unlimited signatures and a set of APIs, enabling businesses to digitise and modernize the way agreements are managed and governed in the cloud.

Some of the most effective and utilized collaboration tools are on the cloud to support the continuity of business amidst the challenge of distance. SharePoint is one of the more efficient tools by Microsoft that’s ideal for creating sites, acting as a document library, and many more functions that are helpful for communication inside and outside of an organization. It’s also integrated with other Microsoft 365 solutions such as Teams, OneDrive, and Yammer, and all of these tools work together to provide a great collaboration experience.
