"Information Convergence" and the transformation of the "Information-centric Enterprise" are two important trends that affect your job. Drivers such as compliance and legal liability or real-time business intelligence and business competition based on strategic, timely information have changed how information is viewed by the Enterprise. Information in the context of its value to the business is now the central actor in this dynamic information-centric world.
Among the many ways in which information-based processes are converging is how we have a new collaborative operating model emerging based on a coordinated effort between the various people and departments that interact with information over its entire lifecycle.
Enterprise Information World was developed by the SNIA Data Management Forum to provide cross training and a common vocabulary for professionals from the critical practice areas of Records and Information Management, Information Technology and Information Security. By participating in this event, you will achieve an increased level of understanding that will enable you to bring back tools and methods that will help guide your company in this critical direction. The CIO now owns this combined responsibility in most enterprises. Are you prepared and have the tools you need to be successful?
Here are ways in which the program will help various participants:
Records and Information Managers
Records and Information Managers, RIM, are the administrators of the enterprise’s valuable information records. Now that most information is digital, the tools and technologies of the trade converge with I.T. and Security. In the new Information-Centric Enterprise, the RIM responsibilities carry forward, but new methods, technologies, and tools are needed. Come learn and explore new methods such as ILM and how to more effectively communicate with the IT managers and information security administrators who are your new partners. Come learn how to transform your company around the power of information.
Information Technology Professionals
I.T. is the classic holder of the network, compute, and storage infrastructure responsibility. In the new collaborative model, it is imperative that the business groups and other information administrators collaboratively set the priorities for how information is to be valued and classified and with I.T. set the policies and service requirements. ILM tools and approaches are the bridge between the various constituencies who own, use, and administer information. Come learn how to use ILM-based practices and bring the organization together, transforming your company.

Come work with your information peers on the methods for setting and implementing information assurance-based policies and service requirements. Come understand how an ILM-based approach will unify the effort across all information operations and transform your company
