SILVER SPRING, MD--(Marketwire - October 10, 2007) - AIIM - The
Enterprise Content Management Association has expanded its
certificate training program to include two new programs for Business
Process Management (BPM) and Information Organization & Access (IOA).
These new programs provide organizations with the skills and
knowledge to improve their business processes and optimize enterprise
search and findability. Online and in-person courses are now

AIIM introduced its ECM and ERM Certificate Programs in January 2006,
and since then has delivered 4,200 courses across the world to
students in Norway, Finland, United Kingdom, Ireland, Slovenia, South
Africa, Hong Kong, Dubai, Canada, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, Cayman
Islands, Jamaica, Netherlands, and the United States. This makes AIIM
the leading provider of both content management and records
management training in the world.
"The huge success of our first two certificate programs on Electronic
Records Management and Enterprise Content Management led us to
develop related certificate programs to help end-users make smart
information management decisions," notes AIIM President John Mancini.
"With over 4,200 course attendees in the first 18 months of
operation, AIIM is now the leading provider of education on records
management and document management in the world."

technologies, methodologies and global best practices for managing
information and business processes, but also obtain the highly
