Functions of an Enterprise Information Management Solution – Part 3

There is a growing realization across all organizations that information is a key business asset. As per Gartner’s research, over 80% of business executives believe that data is on the balance sheet. It is impossible to realize the full value of the corporate data and content without a means to manage it on an enterprise-wide level and that is where Enterprise Information Management (EIM) comes in. It can be thought of as the discipline of managing information as an enterprise asset. However, it is difficult to identify too many core components and find a good EIM solution as there are many of them covering different business areas. Below is a list of components that every EIM solution should have to a greater or lesser extent.

• Structured and unstructured data management
  Responsible for managing physical structured data resources within EIM systems, including databases, servers, back-ups and archives, structured data management is really important. Unstructured data management handles the growing volume of unstructured data in sources such as documents, reports, email, spreadsheets, web pages, social media and video.
• Enterprise integration
  Enterprise integration ensures that one EIM solution integrates seamlessly with all others to create a complete enterprise-wide EIM platform. The EIM solution should also integrate into other key enterprise applications to enable end-to-end business processes.
• Flexible deployment
  The EIM software that you select should provide the flexibility to be deployed in the way that best meets business requirements. Cloud, on-premises and hybrid cloud implementation options, should be available as well as the opportunity to select a fully managed service.
