In April, we advised that AIIM was conducting a survey on Findability in the enterprise and invited you to participate. AIIM have today published the results of their survey, which is free to download after registration via the link below.

KOnnect invites your views on this proposal. Do you think it could make a difference? Could you help in any way?
