What is information management?

March 5, 2024

Information management includes the oversight and implementation of organization-wide systems that facilitate the collection and protection of relevant data. The purpose of the field is two-fold: 

  • To design, develop, manage and use information with insight and innovation.
  • To support decision making and create value for individuals, organizations, communities and societies.

Companies often place this job function within the operations team because it plays an integral role in optimizing internal processes.
