New ways of using information and Internet-based and emerging technologies are revolutionizing the structure and operation of organisations. Today, information management enables integrated business processes that extend the entire information supply chain from consumer to provider, to government, and to use. Corporate profitability and non-profits alike are transformed in ways we never imagined, and as a result, enhance the effective delivery of public services.
Staying competitive and productive in commercial business, non-profit and government demands a strategic response to the changes and innovations evolving from the collection of massive data repositories, rapidly emerging technologies, increased computing performance, increased communication capabilities and improved information dissemination and visualization.
