New Generation Information Management
Managing information is an increasing headache that is taxing many organisations.  This series of four inter-related short reports looks at how information management is important within the Telco and Finance verticals, along with how email and other ad-hoc information management is an integral issue, and how information management has to be built on a coherent platform.

  • Managing Customers and Content
    The impact of the convergence of IT, Telecoms and Media is immense on all suppliers in the sector. Customers have an increasing number of information assets and can choose services to choose from a range of suppliers. For companies wishing to succeed in the ‘new world,' understanding and managing information is key. In order to achieve this, multiple content types and complex customer data must be able to be stored and retrieved quickly and efficiently.
