 About this Event:  Joint Training with NCC AIIM and Northern VA ARMA Chapter

The Electronic Records Management (ERM) Certificate Program is designed from global best practices among AIIM’s 65,000 members. It explores records management in relation to the business needs of all types of organizations, whether in the public or private sector, embracing all records, but with a particular emphasis on electronic records.

AIIM provides education, research, and best practices to help organizations find, control, and optimize their information. For over 60 years, AIIM has been the leading non-profit organization focused on helping users to understand the challenges associated with managing documents, content, records, and business processes. AIIM is international in scope, independent, implementation-focused, and, as the representative of the entire Enterprise Content Management industry - including users, suppliers, and the channel - acts as the industry's intermediary.

Course Description
The ERM Practitioner program covers the lifecycle of records and related concepts such as classification schemes, metadata, security, retention, and disposal. This course, which was revised in early 2009, also includes changes in the vendor landscape; increased focus on email capture and retention; expanded focus on new content types such as wikis and blogs; and new best practices and standards. The course also provides additional focus on taxonomies; migration technologies for moving away from shared drives; auto-categorization to develop and maintain taxonomies, and auto-classification to extract metadata.
