The Future of Information Management

Information Management:Current and Future States

VSCURRENT STATE FUTURE STATE (VISION)Information is collected multiple times, by multiple people within multiple departments.

Lack of information governance leaves a void that results in individual departments, divisions, units, etc. all working on different pieces of the same problem.

Information is stored in multiple locations and formats.

Information is difficult to access and is often recollected and recreated.

The lack of rigour in our collection and management of information increases risks.

Information is collected once.

Information is managed digitally in an open and secure environment.

Information is accessible, and used its fullest potential.
