Harnessing the Power of Information Management: An Analyst Viewpoint

Delhi – Saurabh Verma, Manager, Software & Services Research, IDC India and Nandavarapu Kiran, Assistant Manager, Software & Services Research, IDC India

Mumbai – Praveen Sengar, Sr. Manager, Software & Services Research, IDC India

India Inc has witnessed tremendous growth in the last decade and IT has played a vital role in the same. IT adoption among Indian enterprises has been increasing ever since the economy started to open up in the early 1990s. The data handled by these enterprises has variations in terms of quality, format and structure. This has emerged as a major challenge for enterprise IT and line-of-business heads. Today, there is a definite need among enterprises to have synchronised and structured data. The next step in this movement is to derive the maximum value out of the available data. This is where the need to convert data into information comes into the picture and organizations are looking to adopt data warehousing, business intelligence, portal and content management tools.

This trend has given rise to the notion of ‘Information Management Systems’ - a topic that is currently attracting a lot of attention across industry verticals. To have readily available information and regular measurement of business performance metrics are amongst the top requirements of today’s business heads. Additionally, intensifying global competition has forced business enterprises to look for solutions, which can help them exploit their strengths and build a long term, strategic competitive advantage.

Holistic Information Management for the Enterprise

Delhi – Alok Lall, Product Manager – Sharepoint, Microsoft India

Mumbai – Karun Thareja, Senior Product Manager, Microsoft India

Organizations today are facing an Information divide. Information exists in multiple applications, multiple formats and across devices. While IT finds it an issue to manage it and support business requirements, Business Users often do not have the information in the right format or at the required time so that they can use it to take decisions and enable successful execution. It is critical for organizations like yours to provide a platform that enables people to find the right information, collaborate with their peers, customers & partners, and follow the right processes in your quest to differentiate your enterprise from competition. The platform at the same time must provide IT with rich data management, performance and application development capabilities across multiple devices and data sources. In this session, get a better understanding of how the Microsoft solutions for Enterprise Information Management can empower your organization’s decision making and execution agility to the next level.
