For many years, organizations have survived by
"winging it" when it comes to information management.
“Yes, we need a strategy for managing the financial
assets of the organization, so we'll invest in an accounting system."
“Yes, we need a strategy for managing the physical
assets and their associated data, so we'll put in place an ERP system."
“Yes, our human assets are important, so we'll spend money on an HR system."
But a strategy for managing information? Treat our
information assets with the same rigor and discipline
as we do our money, inventories, and people? OK,
maybe we'll automate a specific process. But in terms
of getting our arms around the legendary "80% of the
information in our organization that is unstructured,"
we'll get to that sometime, someday, thank you very much.
The sheer quantity of information that is descending upon
our organizations is rapidly creating a set of circumstances
in which we will no longer be able to just "wing it."
SharePoint deployments are sweeping through many
organizations, often with little planning or structure.
The strategic imperative to manage information effectively
will soon become irreversible -- with devastating consequences
for those who assume it is otherwise.
