Laserfiche’s framework for information governance has four parts:

• People. Effective information governance requires buy-in from an executive sponsor as well as department heads, users, and legal, technology and records managers.
• Policies. While there is no one-size-fits-all suggestion that can be made in terms of governance policies, it is often helpful to focus on outcomes (value) rather than limits (lock-down).
• Technology. Implementing enterprise content management (ECM) as a foundational component of information governance automates the organization’s approach to information management, ensuring standardization and reliability of information assets.
• Risk management. A well-vetted records management policy that ensures consistency of information across the enterprise is essential to minimizing compliance risks.

“CIOs are the drivers of business technology focused on operational efficiency and business innovation,” said Rapelje. “Laserfiche is committed to providing a framework for information governance that connects people, process and technology to more effectively manage information.”

“Laserfiche’s long-term commitment to China began in 2004, when it formed a representative office in Shanghai,” said Phyllis Chen, managing director of Laserfiche International. “Since then, the company’s presence in Shanghai has grown steadily. We’ve established LFIT as its own corporate entity in order to make Laserfiche ECM solutions more accessible to Chinese customers.”

LFIT recruits employees from the top 10 universities in China, including Shanghai Jiaotong University and Fudan University. To accommodate its recent and future growth, LFIT has moved into a 4,000+ square foot executive suite at 2000 Pudong Avenue. The office occupies the penthouse suite and has a panoramic view of the city.

In Hong Kong, Laserfiche International is also expanding rapidly. Opened in October 2009 to capitalize on the enormous potential for growth in the booming Asia Pacific region, Laserfiche International recently acquired an additional 2,000 square feet of office space to accommodate high demand for its products and services.

“We’re proud of the work Laserfiche International has done to bring our agile ECM systems to the Chinese market,” said Tom Wayman, vice president of product strategy at Laserfiche. “We look forward to continued success in Asia as the company expands its presence in both Shanghai and Hong Kong.”
