Obama and EDM

On the Fierce Content Management website, there's a blogger writing about another blogger (that's a bit complicated) discussing President-Elect Barack Obama's plans to streamline online records and data management in the medical field. The question both these writers are musing on - would more intense oversight and regulation of the industry be a good thing or bad thing for EDM businesses? The two experts reach slightly different conclusions.

On fierce, Ron Miller says - "Bex Huff, who is a consultant specializing in Oracle Enterprise Content Management, wonders in a recent blog post if President-elect Obama's recent radio address calling for the modernization of medical record keeping would be a boon for content management vendors. It's Huff's contention that it would be, but I'm not sure this particular aspect of the president-elect's plan would help ECM specifically. It could certainly help related industries around scanning and pure document management."
