What Exactly is EIM?
Let’s start by acknowledging that there is no single, indisputable definition of EIM. Some analysts define it in specific terms, others more generally. Some view it as a data-centric part of the overall information management strategy – the next generation of data administration, while others see it as an integration layer in support of business processes. Gartner, Inc., for example, says that EIM is the logical layer of an IT architecture…use it for your application and integration programs. Forrester, on the other hand, talks about EIM in terms of integrating structured and unstructured data and content. So EIM means different things to different people, but they all coalesce around the idea that the EIM vision is for a truly integrated, holistic information resource to finally become a reality.
Sound like a familiar promise? Yes it is, so what’s different now, in 2008, that might make this promise a reality? That’s what we’re going to talk about at this conference…information management and integration on an enterprise scale which is now technologically feasible and cost effective.
