Study Notes
Introduction to Information Management
- Information Management System (IMS) defines how organizations collect, save, and manage data, incorporating rules and protocols tailored to each establishment.
- Examples of IMS include cloud services and cloud storage from providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
Features of an IMS
- Collects information by measuring business data and converting it into actionable formats.
- Stores information to preserve data securely.
- Processes data through structured procedures, automating results for efficiency.
- Distributes information to stakeholders effectively.
- Provides access to information in various formats beneficial to stakeholders.
Types of Information Management Systems
- Transaction Processing Systems (TPS): Manage routine transactions, such as sales orders and payroll records.
- Office Automation Systems (OAS): Support collaborative tasks through communication tools like email and document sharing.
- Knowledge Management Systems (KMS): Facilitate the management and sharing of organizational knowledge, including help centers and AI chatbots.
- Decision Support Systems (DSS): Aid decision-making across industries by analyzing data, such as traffic information via GPS.
Information Life Cycle
- Capture Data: Organizations continuously generate and collect data from diverse sources, including social media and sales records.
- Store Data: Data storage methods include file storage, block storage, and networks, utilizing both on-premises and cloud solutions.
- Manage Data: Involves ensuring data security, availability, and compliance, alongside efficient organization and classification of data.
- Transform Data: Organizations cleanse, aggregate, and enrich data to enhance accessibility and comprehension tailored to business needs.
- Use Data: Users view, modify, analyze, and share data to facilitate business operations and reporting.
- Archive Data: Data no longer in daily use is archived for future reference or compliance, often stored in low-cost, slower systems.
- Destroy Data: When data is confirmed as unnecessary and not subject to legal requirements, it can be safely deleted to minimize storage overhead and liability.
