Andrew Warland, Senior Consultant (Records Management) for Converga, will be co-chairing the "Maximising Productivity & Compliance of Records Management Systems" conference in Canberra from 19 to 20 May 2009. Andrew will also be presenting on the impact of Web 2.0 technologies on the world of records management addressing the following points:
- The world is embracing Web 2.0 applications at a rapid rate and storing more and more in the cloud
- Traditional records management theories and practices are under challenge as users create and store records using these applications
- Some of the base technology that supports Web 2.0 now has strong but not obvious links with recordkeeping concepts
- How might records be managed in the future? What will be the impact for organisations and the recordkeeping profession?
Andrew has spent almost 30 years working in the field of information management, and helping organisations improve the way they manage their information assets. He has advised major Australian and global firms, Australian and New Zealand Government agencies, and small boutique sized companies to improve their information management processes and practices.
