Learning Outcome most restricted technical sense, is an ordered sequence of symbols that record
or transmit a message. The key idea is that information is a collection of facts
• Explain the role of data, that is organized in such a way that they have additional value beyond the
information, and value of the facts themselves. The systems engineer is both the generator and
databases in recipient of information products; thus, the systems engineer has a vital stake
organizations in the success of the development and use of the IM process and IM systems.

of using a database over
traditional file processing
1.1 Data

Data is defined as facts or figures, or information that's stored in or used by a computer. An example of
data is information collected for a research paper. the quantities, characters, or symbols on which
operations are performed by a computer, which may be stored and transmitted in the form of electrical
signals and recorded on magnetic, optical, or mechanical recording media.

1.2 Information

Information is a stimulus that has meaning in some context for its receiver. When information is entered
into and stored in a computer, it is generally referred to as data. After processing (such as formatting and
printing), output data can again be perceived as information.

Information (shortened as info or info.) is that which informs, i.e. that from which data can be derived. At its
most fundamental, information is any propagation of cause and effect within a system. Information is
conveyed either as the content of a message or through direct or indirect observation of something. That
which is perceived can be construed as a message in its own right, and in that sense, information is always
conveyed as the content of a message. Information can be encoded into various forms for transmission
and interpretation. For example, information may be encoded into signs, and transmitted via signals.
These are difficult times for all organizations of all sizes and in all sectors. On the one hand, customers
have ever-increasing expectations in terms of the speed and quality of service they expect and, on the
other resources are continually under pressure.

Summary

Information management (IM) concerns a cycle of organizational activity: the acquisition of information from
one or more sources, the custodianship and the distribution of that information to those who need it, and its
ultimate disposal through archiving or deletion.

This cycle of information organization involves a variety of stakeholders, including those who are responsible
for assuring the quality, accessibility, and utility of acquired information; those who are responsible for its safe
storage and disposal; and those who need it for decision making. Stakeholders might have the right to
originate, change, distribute or delete information according to organizational information management
policies.

Information management embraces all the generic concepts of management, including the planning,
organizing, structuring, processing, controlling, evaluation, and reporting of information activities, all of which
are needed to meet the needs of those with organizational roles or functions that depend on information.
These generic concepts allow the information to be presented to the audience or the correct group of people.
After individuals can put that information to use, it then gains more value.
