Information Overload! Structured and Unstructured information! Today's fast paced industrial environment is causing companies to evolve into business optimisation entities. According to IDC, the India Enterprise Information Solutions market size (this includes Information Management tools such as Business Analytics tools, Enterprise Portal Management tools and Content Management tools and Information Management services) was estimated to be US$ 145 million in 2007; this represented a growth of 49% over 2006. The Enterprise Information Solutions market is slated to grow at a CAGR of 42% for the period 2007-2012. The growth would be driven mainly by services around Information Management which are slated to grow at a 70% CAGR during the same period.
| Information Management Tools |
Business Intelligence (BI)
It is pertinent and important for all IT infrastructure architects and CIOs to have a firm understanding of the roles BI and BPM play, and how their businesses can be optimised in all areas from networks, data, down to the channels and devices. These layers do not operate in silos but increasingly interact and collaborate.
Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
If an enterprise aims at high performance then CIOs should be able to quickly and efficiently activate the necessary IT tools to access, share and use a wide variety of content. A successful portals and content management infrastructure brings business value by dynamically aggregating content, functions and features into a high-performance workspace based on the user's specific role and responsibilities.
Benefits of ECM
- Direct cost reduction
- Improve upon the efficiency to create, maintain and use data
- Reduced report submission time
- Reduce the work-overflow
Business Process Management (BPM)
Together, SOA and BPM provide a perfect fusion for enterprise computing. BPM gives a high-level abstraction for defining business processes, as well as the capabilities of monitoring and managing those processes. SOA provides the capabilities for services that support those processes to be combined together, to support and create an agile, flexible enterprise. BPM without SOA is useful for building applications, but difficult to extend to the enterprise. SOA without BPM is useful for creating reusable and consistent services, but lacks the ability to turn those services into an agile, competitive enterprise.
Enterprise Data Management & Architecture (DM&A)
Data is the lifeblood of an organization and a valuable enterprise asset. It provides the foundation on which to base critical and everyday business decisions. It is, therefore, essential that decision makers can access and depend on quality data to operate confidently in a high-performance environment.
The survival of the fittest is being played out in a different arena, with Information Management being one of the main themes. For many years, business services and IT infrastructures have continued along different and difficult roads of progress, resulting in a huge gap in how these assets can be collectively optimized and synergized for the business. The disintegrated nature of IT assets alongside segmented information flow and business processes form the barriers that are blocking progress. The correct information enables an enterprise to better manage its business - from interacting with customers to making strategic, financial, managerial and operational decisions.
