Roadmap to enterprise content management 

Posted on by

Proper enterprise content management will stand CPUT in good stead.

Recently CPUT staff members from various departments attended a strategy workshop to determine the roadmap for Enterprise Content Management (ECM).

The session was facilitated by Elize de Wet, the Director of Corporate Governance at the University of Johannesburg (UJ).

De Wet was the ideal person to drive this challenging workshop, having led a similar implementation at UJ. She provided insight to some of the challenges UJ faced and still face on their ECM journey.

She indicated that UJ opened up the equivalent of 32 rugby fields of space though proper classification, digital storage, archiving and destruction of documents.  UJ furthermore destructed 80 tonnes of paper in 2016.

The workshop also provided staff members with the opportunity to debate various issues regarding ECM and how best to go about it at CPUT. Departments also presented their most pressing ECM challenges and priorities.

The workshop outputs are invaluable in crafting the ECM strategy and roadmap and alignment of such with CPUT’s legal, operational and technology roadmaps to ensure an integrated sustainable implementation.

 

 

Compliance Manager joins Registrar’s Office

Posted on by

Compliance within all departments at CPUT is a critical function which ensures the university stays afloat.

The Registrar’s office has been given a boost in this area thanks to the recent addition of Mbongeni Mateta.

Mateta joined the team as a Compliance Manager a month ago and his main functions will be to ensure the ethical and financial compliance across all CPUT governing structures including Senate and Council.

Mateta is an Advocate with a strong business background and has worked in senior positions in former  President Nelson Mandela’s office, the Post Office as well as in the Gaming and Aviation industries to name a few.

“Compliance has become an established business practice within large corporations but it is important to understand that it isn’t a watchdog- rather it is about understanding where we come from and what we need to do,” he says.

Mateta adds that he is excited to join CPUT and launch his office from the ground up.

“I consider myself fortunate to start something from scratch. That means when I leave here one day I will be leaving a legacy. Looking at CPUT I can immediately identify the Protection Of Personal Information (POPI) as an area where I can lend my expertise.”
