“CDIA+ is an incredibly useful credential, and a lot of effort went into updating the certification and preparing the study guide,” said James Stanger, senior director, product management, CompTIA. “We’re extremely pleased with the quality, depth and breadth of the content Ricoh has developed. The case study and questions are based on authentic customer scenarios, not rote knowledge, and focus extensively on both the emerging technology and legal considerations in enterprise content management that will make the biggest differences in clients’ business success.”
Information management professionals who achieve CDIA+ certification typically have titles like electronic records manager, enterprise content management administrator, solution sales specialist or ECM (enterprise content management) consultant.
“To help these professionals prepare, this new study guide directly leverages the expertise Ricoh has developed in finding new ways to help our customers make information work for them,” said Dominic Pontrelli, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. “Similar to Ricoh – but on an individual scale – managers of digital business information are focused on capturing, transforming and managing information so that it gets to the right people at the right time to make critical business decisions.”
The study guide is available on the Amazon Kindle store, iBooks, Google Play, Barnes & Noble and Kobo. It incorporates a wide array of material on enterprise content management, information capture, storage, networking, security, compliance, needs analysis, solution design and implementation.
