Big Data - analytics - master data management - enterprise content management - information as an asset

While technology is rapidly becoming a commodity, it's time to shift our attention to the ‘I' of IT. Information is an asset - and a very strategic one.

Many organizations still do not take full use of the wealth of information they have in store. They do not seem to recognize that information will provide the competitive edge for the next few decades. Many roadblocks prohibit the full use of information. After all, the amount of data is staggering and growing by the day. We have even grown accustomed to the term ‘Big Data'. How to handle terabytes of data? And more: can we take the offensive by looking forward and predict what our customers will do? Shift from the rearview mirror of BI to the binoculars of analytics?

While the annual conference Information Management focuses on all the information trends, like Big Data, analytics, master data management, enterprise content management, and so on - the question is justified what IT managers and information managers really need to make a difference. We need to have excellent information planning skills in place, and a corporate culture, business knowledge and personal competences to be able to fully recognize and leverage information as a competitive weapon.

You have discovered how your experts, your peers and international thought leaders explain how to take advantage of ‘the oil of the 21st century': information. At Information Management 2012, a series of plenary sessions, expert talks, round tables, presentations by your fellow managers and plenty of opportunities to network have really boost your information-readiness. Within a single day!

How information-savvy are you?

We hope to welcome you at the second Information Management!
