Digital transformation is disrupting traditional business models and organizations must adapt to the ever-changing digital ecosystem and transform digitally to stay competitive and deliver efficient services.
The recent shift to a hybrid workforce that works remotely and collaborates in digital workplaces has led to many organizations modifying their business processes. An electronic document and records management system (eDRMS) typically manages electronic files and documents as records in many organizations. However, most eDRMSs today lack the technical ability to work with the diverse records produced by digital workspaces.
Document and record management is an integral part of the digital transformation strategy. Agile digital workflows are common in transformation. The digital records produced in today’s digital workplaces take various forms, including PDFs, e-signatures, emails, text messages, audio clips, video recordings, and many more.
These changes have led to a demand for better tools to manage records in an organization. The current document management systems fall short of meeting the demand for today’s digital workplaces.

Digital Continuity 2020 Policy
Most companies in Australia are slow to adopt modern technologies, leaving them with an unoptimized technology landscape that cannot match the pace of today’s digital world. As the deadline for compliance with the Australian Government’s Digital Continuity 2020 Policy approaches, business and government leaders are paying more attention to their information management systems today and seeking to modernize.
According to a recent survey by Microsoft and Harvard Business Review, 82 percent of global business leaders say that digital transformation makes data security and governance more difficult. Here are some reasons causing these challenges.
Organizations have not been able to keep pace with the digital changes due to various constraints. Implementation of information technology systems in a haphazard manner has led to a mix of incompatible legacy and modern systems. The impact is visible in the way records are managed in organizations. Some documentation records are physical, and some are in outdated eDRMSs. Companies, unfortunately, miss the benefits of digitization.
Business processes lack standardization in how the digital records get used, transmitted, and stored. The downside is that staff spend a lot of productive time searching for documents.
A 2012 study conducted by McKinsey found that knowledge workers still spend 19% of their time searching for and gathering information. A 2018 IDC study found that “data professionals are losing 50% of their time every week” — 30% searching for, governing, and preparing data plus 20% duplicating work.
With the rise in digitalization today, information explosion is all around us with the addition of mobile apps, cloud solutions, social media, and other online platforms. Employees spend a lot of productive time searching for relevant documentation across their emails, online archives, on-premise applications, SaaS applications, and others, along with physical documentation.
With various digital records in today’s digital workplace, there are increasing concerns on data privacy and regulatory compliances. Countries are bringing about regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU to protect the collection and processing of personal information from individuals who live in the European Union (EU). Lapses in data privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliances will lead to legal implications, financial losses, and loss of brand reputation.
According to statistics on cyber-attacks, six in every 10 attacks in 2020 intended to extort money from companies and individuals. The most notable breach was Garmin, which cost the company a whopping $10 million. CTW Global also lost a significant sum of $4.5 million.
Organizations must ensure that their business records are maintained in a secure and compliant manner.
The Way Forward – Mitigating Risk with a Modern records management solution
To safeguard against risk without compromising productivity or incurring additional expenses, organizations must adopt a more efficient, user-friendly approach to information management. New-breed solutions that build secure, configurable records management protocols into the apps and software employees already use offer a way forward.
Spend a couple of minutes to see how one Australian Federal Government agency enlisted our help in transforming its information management system by implementing Microsoft’s cloud Records Management solution.
The highly automated solution integrates with existing applications, saves time by using machine learning to identify and classify regulatory, legal, and business-critical records at scale. In addition, it provides defensible audit trails and proof of destruction to improve transparency.
 Benefits include increased productivity, efficient processes with automated, rule-based operations, and creating a single source of truth for all records, enabling easy access and searching. Learn more.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) is an Agent of Parliament whose mission is to protect and promote privacy rights.
The OPC supports a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion in order to provide the highest quality of service to Canadians and enable the full participation of its employees, clients and stakeholders in the delivery of its activities and its mandate. The Canadian legislative framework that supports diversity and inclusion was strengthened by the addition of An Act to ensure a barrier-free Canada, also known as the Accessible Canada Act (ACA or the Act), which came into force on July 11, 2019.
This document sets out the OPC’s plan for reducing barriers and preventing the introduction of new barriers over the next three-year period in seven priority action areas by identifying ten organizational goals:
The Government of Canada (GoC) aspires to have a public service that is accessible by default for the Canadian public, government institutions and their workforce. This aspiration is rooted in the belief that an inclusive public service is more innovative, efficient and productive. The goal is to make Canada’s public service barrier-free.
The government has placed significant emphasis on improving the participation of persons with disabilities in the federal public service and in the Canadian workforce. The results of the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability suggest that 6.2 million Canadians aged 15 and over (22% of the population) have a disability, though the actual numbers are likely higher. As a result of the physical, administrative, institutional, technological and attitudinal barriers that exist in the workplace, persons with disabilities are underrepresented in the Canadian labour force. Only 59% of Canadians with disabilities aged 25 to 64 are employed, compared to 80% of Canadians without disabilities.
The number of people living with a physical disability is expected to rise from 2.9 million to 3.6 million over the next 13 years, nearly doubling the pace of population growth overall. Removing barriers that prevent persons with disabilities from purchasing goods and services and accessing both business and government services and employment is critical to both improving their quality of life and ensuring that Canadian society benefits from their valuable participation.
The GoC held consultations with persons with disabilities and the disability community and heard from more than 6,000 Canadians about what an accessible Canada means to them. This consultation informed the creation of the Accessible Canada Act (ACA).
The ACA, which came into force on July 11, 2019, takes a proactive and inclusive approach to identifying and eliminating barriers in federal jurisdiction by 2040. It includes 7 priority areas for action:
Under the ACA, federally regulated entities must report to the public on their policies and practices in relation to the identification and removal of barriers by publishing their accessibility plans, feedback processes and progress reports.
Each department, agency and federally regulated employer is also required to develop an accessibility plan and report on progress made against this plan annually, starting in December 2022.
The ACA will guide government departments, agencies and federally regulated organizations in removing barriers to achieve full accessibility and in their reporting obligations to demonstrate progress.
A federal workforce that is reflective of the Canadian population is viewed as essential to the design and implementation of programs and services that are bias- and barrier-free and address the needs of all Canadians.
It is important to note that the federal government has introduced many initiatives over the years to increase the representation, promotion and retention of employment equity group members and to systematically reduce any barriers. Federally regulated organizations, including all federal government departments and agencies, undertake these actions consistent with the Employment Equity Act (EEA), which covers visible minorities, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and women.
As a country, Canada is recognized globally for its support of diversity. Along with the ACA and the EEA, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Canadian Human Rights Act, the Pay Equity Act, the Canadian Multiculturalism Act, the Official Languages Act, the Privacy Act and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) are also part of the legislative framework supporting diversity and inclusion in Canada.
The OPC oversees compliance with the Privacy Act, which covers the personal information-handling practices of federal government departments and agencies, and the PIPEDA, Canada’s federal private-sector privacy law. The OPC provides advice and information for individuals about protecting personal information.
The OPC’s work focuses on:
The OPC has approximately 200 employees who are dedicated to protecting the privacy rights of Canadians.
While the OPC has had an employment equity program for many years, senior management has recognized the need to strengthen recruitment and workplace initiatives in relation to persons with disabilities and work towards building a more diverse workforce, a more accessible work environment and a more equitable approach to working with Canadians.
The OPC’s aim with this accessibility plan is twofold: identify, remove and prevent accessibility barriers in the OPC’s delivery of services to the public, and continue to address the accessibility needs of its employees.
The OPC’s accessibility plan is supported by other relevant initiatives, including the Human Resources Strategic Plan 2020-2023 and Employment Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategic Action Plan 2021-2024; the designation of an EDI Champion and Wellness Action Champion; and the establishment of several joint employee-management committees that advance accessibility and inclusion in the workplace, including the Employment Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, Gender Based Analysis+, Wellness Action Team and Inclusive Services.
For example, in 2015, the OPC implemented a policy on accommodating clients with disabilities to create and maintain an inclusive, barrier-free environment for the delivery of public-facing services. Although this policy was implemented before the ACA was enacted, its objective was to create an organization where accommodation was a proactive rather than a reactive process.
In addition, in 2019, the OPC conducted an accessibility review of its website to ensure it meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA, which are part of web accessibility guidelines published by the Web Accessibility Initiative of the W3C, the main international standards organization for the Internet. The OPC contracted with a consultant to review the website and evaluate its compliance with WCAG 2.0 Level AA. The consultant provided guidance to help the OPC achieve this level and the confirmed our compliance.
The OPC complies with the Standard on Web Accessibility, which requires WCAG 2.0 Level AA compliance and helps ensure our site is navigable using screen readers and accommodates users with other visual or cognitive difficulties as well as physical disabilities. We also continually review and improve our website content in terms of plain language and usability, with a focus on key documents, including forms destined for the Canadian public and highly technical or legal guidance for businesses and organizations. The OPC will further enhance the accessibility of our website by letting users know they can request content in alternative formats such as Braille and by providing contact information (publications@priv.gc.ca) for making these requests in prominent areas of the web site.
The Communications Directorate will continue to do usability testing whenever the OPC’s website is redesigned to ensure it is compliant with the current version of WCAG.
In addition, to foster an inclusive hiring process, the OPC has established unconscious bias pre-requisite training for managers with delegated staffing authority. Central agency inventories, pools and student placement programs for persons with disabilities are discussed and considered by hiring managers to meet their staffing needs.
The OPC has also instituted a Scent-Free Environment Directive which is shared with candidates, contractors, employees including new hires during the orientation session as well as visitors.
The OPC’s internal news bulletin, “OPC Weekly,” regularly features accessibility and inclusion training and awareness events, as well as promoting activities of the Canadian Congress on Disability Inclusion and Canada School of Public Service course offerings about accessibility.
The OPC also provides employees with specialized accessibility equipment as required based on the results of ergonomic assessments including, for example, curved screens, screen readers, screen magnification software, adjustable chairs and tables, as well as other ergonomic supplies and equipment. IM/IT also leverages technologies such as optical character readers to enable machine readable technologies or other types of accessibility requirements.
Finally, all employee and management performance management agreements include an organizational priority, with corresponding performance indicators, related to promoting and fostering diversity, equity, accessibility, inclusion and substantive equality of official languages within the OPC.
In keeping with the “nothing about us without us” guiding principle, this plan was developed in consultation with persons with disabilities and change agents within the OPC.
The sections below set out the planned activities identified by the OPC to achieve its 10 accessibility goals over the next 3 years, including activities that the OPC already performs to support accessibility for Canadians and its employees.
This information is provided for the purposes of providing feedback and for requesting alternate formats of the plan and/or feedback process.
The Chief of Staff is designated to receive accessibility feedback and will coordinate with internal subject matter experts responsible for each of the seven priority areas to meet new obligations described under the ACA as required.
The OPC welcomes feedback from members of the public, employees and groups representing the interests of persons with disabilities on:
Feedback may be provided to the OPC Chief of Staff (Person designated to receive feedback):
Acknowledgement of receipt will be provided in the same manner as the feedback was received, unless it is requested using a different channel or format. Feedback may be provided anonymously, in which case acknowledgement of receipt will not be issued.
This plan is a living document and will be updated regularly as new developments take place and feedback is taken into consideration.
The OPC will provide any information relating to its Accessibility Plan and/or feedback process in alternate formats available in print, large print, Braille, audio format (French and English) or electronic format that is compatible with adaptive technology that assists persons with disabilities upon request. Requests for documentation in Braille or audio format must be fulfilled within 45 business days of the request. All other requests must be fulfilled within 15 business days.
Hiring managers
Corporate Management Sector (Human Resources)
The OPC has identified and published its services inventory in the Promotion and Compliance sectors as follows:
The goals and related activities set out below represent the next steps that the OPC is undertaking to increase the accessibility of service management practices.
The built environment can have a material impact on health and wellbeing and, if optimized, can ensure that all employees and clients have equal and fair access to and use of internal infrastructure.
Central agencies and common service providers such as Shared Services Canada and PSPC set government standards for the acquisition of software and hardware for many products and services. Their leadership is essential in moving toward more accessible infrastructure.
The GoC community of practice indicates that communications is a system for transmitting or exchanging information, and that performance indicators are under development for accessible communications.
Government accessibility guidance suggests web material should be written to a grade 6 to 8 level. Consideration could be given to a plain language review of the current content for individuals requiring assistance in understanding and acting upon their privacy rights.
The OPC has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) for the OPC’s procurement-related activities. As the contracting authority for the OPC, the CHRC will ensure that procurement-related activities conducted on behalf of the OPC comply with all legal and policy requirements, including the ACA. Accessibility requirements will be part of the procurement process from the outset. More information on the OPC’s procurement-related activities and how these activities meet the requirements of the ACA can be found in the CHRC’s accessibility plan.
This section is not applicable to the OPC.
This accessibility plan aims to provide a path forward for the OPC to eliminate barriers and adapt to changing demographics and will be updated as new initiatives are introduced. It is a priority for our office to bring improvements in the work lives of OPC employees with disabilities and to improve services to the public.
This plan was prepared by first completing an environmental scan to ensure understanding of central agencies’ and other government departments’ accessibility initiatives and to review existing related policies and procedures. The exercise helped identify existing practices and initiatives that could be adopted as a best practice across the organization.
Employees who were interested in being part of a working group were identified to ensure the approach in the preparation of this plan respected the “nothing about us without us” principle. This was done through an employee call out in the internal weekly newsletter and consultation with employees through the EDI committee, the Wellness Action Team (WAT) committee and sector representatives. For Privacy reasons, employees that contributed to the exercise were not asked to identify if they lived with a disability or not. This process led to the creation of a draft plan in summer 2022 which included a list of proposed actions to address accessibility barriers at the OPC.
To finalize this plan in a consultative manner, the OPC identified select accessibility representatives in each sector to contribute to the redaction of the final accessibility plan. The representatives met over fall 2022 to review the proposed activities and to restructure the plan in more articulate, concrete and meaningful goals. This led to the preparation of a draft version of the plan ready for external consultation.
The OPC does not currently have a network of stakeholders in all the abilities community. When exploring consultation options, it was felt by the members of the Accessibility Plan working group that an online consultation on the OPC web site would not lead to a meaningful consultation process. In order to receive meaningful feedback, it retained the services of Excellence Canada, an independent, not-for-profit corporation that is dedicated to advancing organizational performance across Canada, to review its accessibility plan for compliance with the Accessible Canada Act and submit the plan to its Accessible Canada Act Review Committee to complete a review of the draft from the perspective of people with disabilities.
The consultation was conducted between November 1 and November 14, 2022. The three members of the Accessible Canada Act Review Committee have a disability/lived experience with mobility disability and learning disability. They were asked to review the overall readability and structure of the plan, and the contents of the plan given their lived experiences with disabilities.
The comments received were useful in identifying government language that decreased the readability of the document. It also helped bring attention to the OPC that some of the plan activities should clearly state that they will be completed with people with disabilities, and not only by keeping people with disabilities in mind.
Structural comments and next step recommendations received were integrated in the final plan.
An Accessibility Lens is a tool for identifying and clarifying issues affecting persons with disabilities used by policy and program developers and analysts to access and address the impact of initiatives (policies, programs or decisions) on persons with disabilities.

Software development is the hottest job on the market – and business is booming
Microsoft has revised the wording of its Microsoft Store policies after fears the previous wording would ban open-source software developers from making profits from their apps on the store. 
Giorgio Sardo, general manager (GM) in the Experiences and Devices group at Microsoft and GM for the Microsoft Store, announced the changes today via Twitter concerning sections 10.8.7 and 11.2 of the Store policy document. These sections regard how much developers charge for apps and the copyright infringement reporting to Microsoft, respectively. 
The new wording for section 10.8.7 says: “In cases where you determine the pricing for your product or in-app purchases, all pricing … must not be priced irrationally high relative to the features and functionality provided by your product.” 
SEE: Open source matters, and it’s about more than just free software
The newly worded section scrubs previous references to open-source software (OSS) and whether OSS developers or others can profit from it.
Sardo said in a tweet this week: “Last month, we shared a few updates to Microsoft Store policies to help protect customers from misleading product listings. We heard your feedback, and today we made a change to policy 10.8.7 and 11.2.”
But it took Microsoft a few weeks to knock its policy on charging for apps into shape. Questions about the previously worded section 10.8.7 were picked up in early July by Microsoft-watcher Rafael Rivera. Those changes were set to come into force on July 16. (Section 10.8 deals with financial transitions on the Store.)
These changes, posted on June 16, were logged in Microsoft’s store policy change history as: “Update to 10.8.7 to prohibit charging fees in the Store for open-source or other software that is generally available for free and restrict irrationally high pricing.”
The wording at the time said Store developers, when determining pricing, must not “attempt to profit from open-source or other software that is otherwise generally available for free, nor be priced irrationally high relative to the features and functionality provided by your product.”
By chopping any reference to open source and profits, Microsoft appears to agree that its previous wording was clumsy. The company has nothing against OSS developers making money on the Store, but was, as Sardo said this week, trying to prevent misleading and copycat apps profiting from OSS apps. The new section 11.2 highlights that infringement cases should be reported to Microsoft.   
But the previous wording raised several questions. For example, OSS developers put in work to make their apps Store-ready and the Microsoft Store should allow them to capture some of that value, Rivera had noted.
The former version of 10.8.7 seemed a “bit restrictive given some OSS needs a lot of TLC to get working in AppContainer and devs that do the work should be able to recoup the investment,” he wrote at the time.
The proposed policy change gained wider attention after developer Hayden Barnes retweeted Rivera’s post and said he was “disappointed” that the policy’s wording seems to prohibit anyone from selling open-source software in the Store. 
The Store gives OSS developers a way to sustain projects by allowing them to charge a “reasonable amount”, he added. 
SEE: Linus Torvalds: Get ready for another 30 years of Linux
However, even he believed Microsoft intended merely to prevent copycats from profiting from OSS projects. But he wanted Microsoft to change the wording of the prohibition on profiting from OSS as it was too broadly defined.
“I support language to block copycats but the policy language needs to be more narrowly tailored. As-is it sweeps in legit open source apps and, to me, possibly even proprietary apps with MIT/BSD dependencies if your apps cannot ‘attempt to profit from open-source software’,” he later added. 
Sardo had quickly confirmed to Barnes and Rivera that blocking copycat profiting was the intent and promised Microsoft would look into clarifying the wording: that job is done now.

People often confuse document management vs content management systems. In this article, we’ll explore both DMS and CMS, what the similarities are and how their differences dictate which platform is the best for your business.
Document management and content management are closely related. On the surface, they appear to be the same thing, but when you begin to analyze document management vs content management, you begin to see the differences.
If your business is looking to implement a document management system (DMS) or a content management system (CMS), you may be left wondering which one is right for you. 
The best document management software and content management systems can come with a hefty price tag, so it’s best to learn what you’re investing your money in and which platform will best serve your needs.
We’re here to help ease confusion and answer some common questions, which will put you in a better position to select which type of software you need to use.
Document management software is specifically designed to hold business documents that multiple users can organize, create, edit and access. A content management system applies to several content types like text, video and images, all of which are published publicly through a website.
Technically yes, you can use a CMS to create and store text-based documents. However, we wouldn’t advise using a CMS for document management as it doesn’t provide the same organization and creation tools as dedicated document management software.
Microsoft SharePoint is a document management system that also includes some traditional CMS features. For example, you can create private web pages and share content with other users in your business.
To help you learn more about document management systems and content management systems, we’re going to explore each platform separately, then look at some of the core differences and similarities. 
A document management system is a piece of software that allows companies to manage documents throughout their business. See it as somewhat of a digital filing cabinet, where a range of documents exist and various users are able to access them.
However, unlike a physical filing cabinet, which is only capable of holding documents, an electronic document management system offers much more. 
For example, certain document management software allows you to send out internal communications that help keep everyone up to date on critical business processes. You can also collaborate on documents, access older versions and allow multiple users to edit them.
The most common types of document management systems are on-premise and cloud-based. On-premise document management software gives you total control over your internal servers and allows you to establish security for your documents. 
The cloud-based option means your documents exist on a third-party company’s servers. Cloud solutions make it easier to access documents on multiple devices, as well as collaborate on documents with others.
Among other things, good document management software enables you to create and store document types such as invoices, employee contracts, spreadsheets, training materials and almost any other business document you can imagine. 
The very best also have tools that offer scanning capabilities so you can transfer paper documents to your electronic DMS. Scanning tools include optical character recognition, which lets you edit paper documents that you have migrated to electronic documents.
If you would like more information on what a DMS can do, check out our document management basics article. We also have a document management best practices guide, that outlines how to choose a DMS and make the most of its features.
A content management system is a space that allows you to upload various types of content such as text, images and video. Through various software options, a content management system lets you easily publish content publicly on the web without needing to know how to code it from scratch.
Whether you’re a blogger or a large online publication, you’ll need a content management system in order to create, schedule and publish content. A leading CMS, like WordPress, also offers templates for your website, and gives you the ability to create a unique design. 
Most content management systems let you add multiple users to one centralized content stream. You can give users permission to create, edit and publish content. Other users, such as editors, can also access content and edit where appropriate.
After your website goes live, you can access your content management system and create new web pages within your website. You can also modify content even after you publish it online, and all of this can be done without the need for a web developer. This makes it simple for even inexperienced CMS users.
Now that you have a better understanding of what a DMS and a CMS are, let’s take a closer look at some of the core differences and similarities.
A DMS tends to handle what’s called structured data; it’s a space that allows you to easily categorize, search and share data within one centralized platform.
By contrast, a CMS is a place for unstructured data, where content does not have a defined data model and isn’t organized in a defined manner.
Structured data includes easily searchable data, such as names, addresses, charts, documents and PDF files; whereas unstructured data involves data that’s not easy to search, for example video files and audio files.
The platforms share similarities in that they offer a centralized space to upload, create, retrieve and share content. That’s really where the common ground ends, as the type of content created and shared is vastly different.
By now, you should be able to ascertain which platform is the best for your business. If you’re still unsure, here are some things to consider.
Two other terms you’re likely to come across are enterprise content management (ECM) and enterprise document management (EDM). Despite the different terms, not much separates an enterprise content management system from a standard CMS, and the same is true with a DMS. The main difference is scalability. 
ECM software allows you to add and manage more users, while also giving them the ability to access content and documents from multiple devices in different locations. 
Due to the size of each platform, it’s common to see more tools for automation that allow you to provide fluid updates on business processes and content. This makes enterprise-level management systems ideal for large businesses. 
While the foundations of a DMS and CMS are similar, you can clearly see that each software type is built for different purposes. Both of them will certainly help you manage content and work with others on different content and document types; a defined objective will help choose which platform you need.
Which DMS do you use? What’s your favorite CMS? Do you utilize enterprise content management? How do you keep track of your business’ digital assets? Is there something you wish we explained in the article? Let us know in the comments. Thanks for reading.
