Announcing Our Partnership With Reed Tech/LexisNexis

by Chase on November 30, 2010

Today we are excited to announce our partnership with Reed Technology and Information Services, a member of the LexisNexis group, to bring to market a comprehensive web archiving service for corporations, government, and professional services firms. The new service is called Reed Technology Web Archiving Services powered by Iterasi.

“We are excited to work with Reed Technology to provide Web Archiving Services to the corporate, professional services and government markets,” said Pete Grillo, CEO of Iterasi. “Our alliance allows us to combine our ‘best-of-breed’ Web archiving technology with Reed Tech’s established digital content management strengths and proven track record of service.”

This web archiving service comes at just the right time for these markets since web archiving is becoming such an essential business need. As Michael Osterman, an Internet and Web 2.0 industry analyst with Osterman Research, puts it:

“Corporations, government and professional services firms are making increasing use of online media to communicate with their customers and constituents about products, services, rules, regulations, and processes. Just as the archiving of email communications has become a ‘Best Practice,’ the now emerging need to archive Web content is on the same trajectory to also become a ‘Best Practice’.”

Interest In Records Management Rises

by Chase on October 26, 2010

I stumbled across an interesting article discussing the future of records management from CMS Wire. The article discusses how spending on records management will rise significantly. Here’s some good points the article makes:

“Recent events like the BP oil spill, the banking crisis and high profile government email leaks have focused executive-level attention on records management.”

“The priority given to records management over the past two year has increased in 80% of companies, with a corresponding planned increase in spending on records management software in over half those organizations.”

“In general, retention policies are quite good around office documents, but considerably less so around newer Enterprise 2.0 technologies or social media content.”

I recommend you check out this article at CMS Wire as well as the study it’s based on, they have some good graphs that help break down the data a bit.
