World2012_logorgb_200x60
Where do you look to find the latest news for your Enterprise Content Management (ECM) needs? There is no doubt that there are organizations like AIIM that provide vendor neutral content like the recent AIIM Conference 2012 that took place in San Francisco in last month. That said, many have turned to what some might call a household name in the ECM world—EMC Corporation.

EMC, an exhibitor at the aforementioned AIIM Conference, has been providing information technology services (including ECM solutions) for over three decades. Starting in Newton, Massachusetts in 1979, today EMC is a global provider of information technology solutions and partners with the best complementary technology companies around the Globe. This synergy in the market has lead to one of the most focused and well attended vendor conferences in the States—EMC World.
