Social messaging and file-sharing content is left unmanaged in a third of firms: AIIM study Despite the fact that the use of digital communications and collaboration platforms is growing quickly in businesses, around one in three organizations has no-one responsible for governing the content of instant messaging (39 percent), mobile (32 percent), social media (28 percent) and cloud-sharing content (33 percent), according to a new AIIM study sponsored by Iron Mountain. The study, undertaken among information professionals by AIIM, also reveals that just under one in ten organizations is failing to regulate well-established information types such as email, customer data and public website content.
