- By attracting attention and increased participation in standards development the association will improve its brand recognition
and help to position AIIM as the leader in the ECM market and the official standards development organization for ECM in ANSI,
which should increase participation in AIIM functions, such as the Conference and Exposition. Better and more ECM standards
will also increase vendors’ sales, user acceptance, and industry growth, a primary goal of the association.
