The explosion of information in every organization today is creating challenges for business leaders as well as technology leaders. The lack of trusted information — information that is accurate, timely and relevant — is on the minds of CEOs and senior executives around the world. The cost and complexity of managing increasing volumes of data and content, combined with the need to provide trusted information to every user for every transaction, are driving CIOs to rethink their approach to information delivery.
What's required is a paradigm shift from siloed, organizational information fiefdoms to the design and deployment of an enterprise-wide information infrastructure. Without it, companies will continue to struggle reaching the ultimate goal of optimizing business through advanced use of information.
CIOs now have access to a new, strategy, planning and implementation approach for turning trusted information from a vision into a reality: the information agenda. An information agenda serves as both strategy and tactical roadmap, bringing together the people, processes and technology necessary to transform increasing volumes of information into a strategic, trusted business asset.
This white paper defines the information agenda, describes key considerations and best practices in creating and implementing an information agenda and sets forth how IBM can help you to deliver trusted information enterprise wide.
