Presentation Description:

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) represents a critical discipline within most modern organisations. While technology continues to evolve rapidly, the strategic management of information often remains fragmented, inconsistent, and undervalued. As digital transformation has accelerated and organisations continue to invest heavily in cloud platforms, automation, analytics, and artificial intelligence, information itself is often poorly managed. Despite the critical role that information plays in compliance, decision-making, innovation, customer experience, and enterprise outcomes, its governance and quality remain inconsistent across departments and systems.

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) seeks to address this challenge. EIM is a holistic and integrative approach that brings together governance, architecture, metadata, lifecycle management, and strategic alignment of information across the organisation. It recognises that information is a core business asset in its own right, irrespective of mode or medium. EIM acknowledges that enterprise success – whether in adopting AI, improving analytics, enhancing customer experience, or mitigating risk – relies fundamentally on the quality, structure, and governance of the information that fuels these efforts.

ALIA’s new Enterprise Information Management Special Interest Group has been established to empower information professionals to step confidently into this space. This panel discussion brings together strategic leaders in the Enterprise Information Space to discuss the current state and experience of Enterprise Information Practitioners, and how to build integrated, scalable, and context-sensitive approaches that connect information silos, elevate information practices, and ensure that data, documents, and knowledge are governed as continuously valuable, shared enterprise assets.
