Abstract
Information is an exceptionally significant angle in the general public. however, gaining
the correct data and passing it to the correct group of information users at an appropriate time is
likewise a basic administration objective. To accomplish this one requires an appropriate
information technology infrastructure, a trustable administration structure, cost accommodating
innovation and the employment of legitimate mechanical practices, process and procedure.
After thorough research I recommended that official level proprietorship is required for
big business engineering activities and that the understanding must be built up that dealing with
the information technology infrastructure is an action that compares to dealing with the business
technique and plans. Information managers and supervisors are asked to adjust architectural
activities as a way to advance the powerful utilize and upkeep of data quality and amount
.
Index terms
Information architecture, information management, information technology.
Introduction
Information management is a complex, and still moderately new subject. Given the
requirement for information all through the association, without consideration regarding design,
data administration will be disordered. The earth will end up wasteful, with little respect for
sharing information and procedures. Overseeing information as an immaterial asset in the current
world has progressively pulled in the consideration of chiefs and researchers and specialists in
the business sciences recently. Unlike numerous physical assets, information does not effectively
fit deciding the esteem thereof in an association, Laudon (2011).
Information management
Information includes both physical and electronic data, Laudon (2015). When putting
technology into consideration, information management therefore entails systems. This system is

used to collect, arrange/manipulate/alter, store, send, receive and retrieve information. These
systems include:
 Website content management
 Digital asset management system
 Document management systems
 Enterprise systems
 Records management systems
 Learning management systems
However, Information management encompasses more than just mere technology.
Similarly, it is also vitally about the business procedures and practices that support the
creation and utilization of information.
Components of information management
According to Mithas et al (2011), Information management comprises of:
 People – they are the owners of the data. They also manage exchange of data among
themselves. They are responsible for the information management
 Process these are the events stat the information undergoes. Sending of information,
retrieval, storage, tranmsformation and alteration.
 Technology. Provides channels for information exchange, transformation, storage,
manipulation and presentation
 Content. information must contain content. The content itself is the information.
Problems faced in information management
Many organizations tend to encounter numerous data administration issues. Information
management problems include;
 Variation in the total number of information management.
 Synchronization between information systems.
 Constraint of inheritance system requiring substitution or updating.
 Match up contention between information management frameworks.
 Absence of lucidity around more extensive hierarchical systems and headings.
