What's around the corner for information management strategies and technologies?

Overview As organizations move forward, they must address both the business and the technical ramifications of information management. This chapter looks at ways to increase the information management value-add to measure, monitor, and respond to changes in the business climate.

Most organizations appear to be doing a good job of managing structured data and building data marts and warehouses that increase their ability to manage their businesses, but many don't feel that they have the right information available at the right time, at the right level, and in the right format to make quality business decisions.

This chapter from CIO Wisdom II: More Best Practices, written in conjunction with the Enterprise Computing Institute, explores some of the concepts that will soon be evolving (and widely implemented) to allow the most benefit from structured data management capabilities. It also discusses corporate performance management (CPM) as the business driver that will allow organizations to translate their data management infrastructure into solid, measurable progress to help meet the company's strategic objectives.
