Enterprise Information Management

In a recent blog post by Billy Cripe at Oracle, he discusses the importance of harnessing all the information that has the potential to get lost in the organization. In the future, Cripe states, it will be vital businesses to adopt an effective form content management.

Cripe believes that the wealth and importance of information often falls through the cracks, and information management will be the way to capture and use that data in the best possible way. With the ocean of information, humans swimming through often miss many of the important items because they note what they think is relevant to them.

It will be important for companies now, to be able to use an enterprise information management system that has the ability to capture all of these key tools: programmatic indexing, entity extraction, topical mapping, social inputs, sentiment and semantic awareness. Utilizing these tools will propel companies with their knowledge of information to the next level of business tools.

BPM: How it works

In a recent article at BPM Enterprise, Michael Beckley sat down to discuss what he believes BPM is and how it works. His definition:

"Business process management is a method and technology for automating and analyzing how people and systems interact. It's a new way to provide visibility into how people and technology need to be coordinated."

And what are the benefits/goals of BPM? You can see all of your data in your business processes. It’s also easier to coordinate data so the business is more effectively run when using this data. BPM puts users in charge of the data system, and they are no longer at the mercy of unorganized data. Not only does it help users analyze processes across departments, but it also the technology and resources that help power effective BPM.
