Information is a business asset few companies can afford not to exploit. It drives critical business processes, improves operational efficiency, informs decision making, ensures competitiveness, enables performance management and allows new opportunities to be timeously identified and actioned.

To optimally exploit data, however, companies have to ensure it is well managed throughout its lifecycle – ie, from acquisition to cleansing, storage, integration, analysis and eventually archiving. Technology alone will not solve this problem though.

While systems and information architecture, data integration, data warehousing, document management, reporting and analysis are all components of a final solution, more fundamental concerns must first be addressed by organisations to ensure data is consistent, reliable and secure.

These include the implementation of data standards, practices and policies, and assignment of roles and responsibilities to key personnel that will manage data.

Information Management (IM) Institute assists organisations to identify their data flows and align them to business and operational information requirements, implementing effective data architectures and data lifecycle management policies that ensure data is consistent, reliable and secure.

Every business is unique and software customisation or custom application development is still essential. Packaged Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions often do not deliver the exact functionality required by businesses since the 'uniqueness' of specific activities and processes. Information Management (IM) Institute has the resources, expertise, business savvy and development experience to assist organisations in numerous industry verticals to create the solutions they need first time round.

Information Management (IM) Institute's offering Includes software development done offsite, onsite or offshore, depending on specialisation, cost and delivery requirements. The benefits of this arrangement are that the Information Management (IM) Institute will scope, specify, build, test, implement and rollout the solution to your requirements. We ensure every intellectual property is adequately documented and version controls are put in place.
