Information Management

The rise of information management as a core organisational function has turned the spotlight onto roles and concepts that were previously barely acknowledged, let alone valued. The power to comply with new legislative demands, and meet increased customer expectation and corporate information needs, today lies in the hands of librarians, taxonomy specialists and information managers.

The skills and tools required here vary in the extreme as new technologies, media and communication channels become embedded in our everyday lives. Document and records management, website content management, knowledge sharing and information-architecture design are just some of the functions that can fall under the information manager’s holdall of responsibilities.

Over the past eight years, Ark Group has followed the rapid evolution of information management and has aimed to share the latest developments, profile the exponents of good practice and investigate the emerging trends through our events, publications and reports.
