Tag: Information Management
Information management (IM) is the appropriate and optimized capture, storage, retrieval, and use of information. It may be personal information management or organizational. IM for organizations concerns a cycle of organizational activity: the acquisition of information from one or more sources, the custodianship and the distribution of that information to those who need it, and its ultimate disposal through archiving or deletion1. Information management embraces all the generic concepts of management, including the planning, organizing, structuring, processing, controlling, evaluation, and reporting of information activities, all of which is needed to meet the needs of those with organizational roles or functions that depend on information.
