What is Enterprise Information Management (EIM)?

EIM is not a technology or a product, but rather an on-going process for organizing, structuring, and managing your organization’s information assets, independent of technology platform or organizational structure. EIM’s objective is to integrate business goals with technology to help your organization continually manage data to simplify business processes, increase productivity, and enhance adaptability. There are many components or initiatives you can implement to achieve EIM, including business intelligence, data warehousing, data governance, and data integration activities. An integral piece of a successful EIM process is business intelligence.
