Information Management Best Practices 2005
The Executive Summary of Outsell's Briefing "Information Management Best Practices: Fortunes Up For Information Management Functions 2005 - And With Fortune Comes Accountability" is now available for SLA members only.
As budgets rose 24% for information managers in the past year, robust growth followed. Managers were able to take on more powerful roles after facing turmoil and uncertainty in recent years. This is also a transitional year as information managers question the value of the services they provide and begin to adopt new technologies in order to integrate content into workflow. In this Briefing, Outsell releases highlights from the 2005 Information Management (IM) Benchmark study, focusing on respondents from the corporate and government sectors, and providing information management executives with key benchmark indicators to support management decisions on resources and direction.Key Findings
- Information Managers are generating responsibility for more enterprise-wide functions and information is increasingly viewed as a key enterprise asset
- Content integration into business processes will be the "next big thing," but there's little adoption of new tools
- Budgets are up significantly as information managers assume enterprise content-buying responsibilities, but market reach is down
- A general state of user discontent with information environments is leading to job shifts
