Establishing an EIM strategy requires more than knowing technology and architecture. In fact identifying tools and approach is easy if you can carve out the problems to address. However EIM Strategy is about aligning business objectives with the EIM organization, processes and infrastructure necessary to fulfill those goals.
Many of our clients engage us after realizing their enterprise initiative is dependent on efficient management of information to fulfill business success. In fact, they would argue now that any business initiative depends on either existing data assets or soon to be acquired ones. EIM Strategy is a critical enabler of any business initiative.

We make Information Governance tangible for our customers. It’s a lofty discussion to talk about empowering the business, governing processes or establishing trusted information, but when you root the opportunity in real-life examples of ERP implementation and consolidation or how it becomes fundamental in paving the way for scale in business growth, the business pays attention.
The maturity curve for Information Governance capabilities is well understood, but identifying the building blocks for organizational development, process definition and level of governance required among different domains is difficult to deliver. We provide the technology infrastructure to author Governance Rules, define Data Governance Processes and design Data Governance Organizational relationships. Our people can aggregate the inputs and transition the job over to your team as your team gets up to speed on owning the responsibilities going forward.
Our ability to deliver the critical Information Governance outputs of Data Governance Rules, Processes and Organization pave the way for rapid implementations of Information Governance technologies that will improve the speed of business and the quality of information and reporting.
Typical post-strategy engagements in Information Governance include:
- Data Organizational Design
- Data Process Improvement
- Data Governance Rule Collection and Authorship
- Data Policy & Standards Definition
- Change Management for Data
Business Information Migration, Consolidation and Enrichment
Moving data from point A to point B is a simple ETL (extract, transform and load) process which has proven to be trivial for organizations that become comfortable with modern data services tools. The challenge is maintaining or enhancing the context of information you use to run the business.
Why? Hiring a mover doesn’t mean you get the furniture placed in the right location. A good one will transport your furniture unharmed, but moving information into a large ERP environment is a lot like moving from a studio apartment into five-bedroom house. Once you get there, you begin to realize how much your missing compared to the dream-home you envisioned.
Reconciling the context of how information will perform for a new ERP environment requires experience in relevant business processes and technologies, but more importantly, having a team well versed in the processes of consolidation, clarification of standards and data enrichment is critical to assuring business continuity and information context.
Typical engagements in Business Information Migration include:
- Information Migration Strategy and Planning
- Project Prep and Business Engagement Plan
- Migration Risk Reviews
- Data Validation Planning
- Information Migration Escalation Teams
- Information Governance Planning
Data Management Innovation
While most businesses focus on incremental improvement, there are a number that want to change the way they "see" the business or the way they conduct business in radical ways to trigger exponential growth. Innovation in Data Management means getting a clear sense of the complexities of the system in a way that simplifies how to respond. Big Picture = Big Data.
Would you like to see how Data Governance could be conducted in an environment with an avatar interacting with a consumer? How about architecting a new business model comprised of leveraging years of clinical research and product data to generate a new services ecosystem? Or would you like to map out the level of process inefficiency your organization is suffering from today because of conflicts in data governance, business rule management and layers of conflicting policy?
From unique proof of concept to helping the organization sell the innovation track, we have navigated the path of Data Management Innovation. Our team leverages past experiences in product development, program management, M&A due diligence on information assets, deep EIM expertise and Six-Sigma process improvement to help generate the level of innovation your organization expects. We make Big Data an innovation you can afford to pursue.
