How an Enterprise Information Integration architecture supports Information Management
Tim Holyoake, Principal Consultant, Software AG
Many organisations believe that they have all of the information they need to support their business processes. The problem is usually that there is so much information available that it's difficult to provide it in a way that makes sense to the consumer - whether they are managers, practitioners or customers. Enterprise Information Integration (EII) offers a pragmatic approach to addressing the hidden, fragmented and inconsistent information sources in use today, turning raw data into meaningful information.
