ARA 2025 – Next generation thinking
It was fantastic to meet so many of you at the recent Archives and Records Association (ARA) Conference, that took place from 27-29 August in Bristol. The event was energising and thought-provoking, offering lots of fresh perspectives and sparking lively discussion. Our very own Information Management expert Noeleen Schenk was live on stage, hosting a jam-packed workshop focussed on adapting skills to address the next generation of record keeping. Expecting 10 guests for an intimate discussion – she was inundated with over 40 attendees!
Why records management matters?
Whilst we’re on the subject of information and records management, we are seeing many organisations struggling in today’s data-driven world. Most are overwhelmed—drowning in a sea of both structured and unstructured data. With global data volumes expected to double every two years, the challenge isn’t going away. Our latest article reveals what happens when records management is neglected and what you can do to avoid these risks.
The risk of AI dependency
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the way we work, learn, and interact with information. From automating tedious tasks to providing instant answers, AI is undeniably making life easier. But is it making us smarter…. or dumber? Sharon Stewart, Information Consultant here at Metataxis, shares some compelling concerns regarding the risks of AI dependency in the workplace.
The power of partnerships
It was great to be part of a recent Charity Technology Roundtable, hosted by nonprofit IT specialist, and one of our key partners, SmartDesc. Bringing together charity IT leaders, we discussed practical ways to better manage and structure information in Microsoft 365 and shared expert information management advice with this heavily regulated sector.
