INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Our View on Information Management
Information and knowledge have become a critical determinant of competitiveness for almost every organization, for companies and even for the public sector alike.
Information and Knowledge Management enables businesses to manage their information across the diverse and complex landscapes of organizational departments, legacy systems, corporate and regulatory policies, business content and unstructured archives. Information Management is defined as anything, hardware, software, system components, services, documents, or processes, that is deliberately introduced into the production environment and which may affect business operations.

Information Management should be managed by a Change Management methodology as inevitable organizational changes, that often apply in parallel, usually also affect multiple stakeholders and employees alike - and potentially even can disrupt business-critical services, involving specific IT systems. Hence it's crucial to set the focus on data management, data integration its data presentation environments. Often it involves operational and process modifications that affects multiple users.





Information Management includes release management best practices, should be established as part of the information management framework and all stakeholders need to be made aware of the importance of corresponding change management initiatives. It provides a disciplined process for introducing changes into the IT-systems production environment with minimal disruption to ongoing business operations.
