Information Management Action Plan
There is a demand for information to be an asset that fuels organizational growth. Greater volumes of data are generated yet service level expectations continue to rise. Tolerance for poor quality is lessened, and the underlying complexity and load on the systems is amplified. Discussions around data warehouses, information integration, business intelligence, and data management occur more frequently. Probably you’ve implemented one or more of these projects. At the end of the day, you need to take your information management capabilities to the next level.
McKnight's Information Management Action Plan is designed for organizations that want to improve service levels to the business and advance their analytical capabilities across the spectrum of information management. Information management comprises the disciplines of data warehousing, business intelligence, master data management, data quality, metadata, syndicated data and operational business intelligence. These disciplines are incredibly interrelated. Operating them in silos will not lead to success.
McKnight will analyze your needs and provide expert advice across the process, people, and technology that drive your organization and are so critical to its success. William has performed numerous assessments for our clients and contributed to best practice success worldwide.
APPROACH
An Action Plan is developed with emphasis on your focus topics, issues and needs. Facilitated interviews are conducted with the project team, users, IT and business management, support groups and prospective user constituents. Specifications, models, code, and other relevant information are analyzed in the process. The plan is developed, presented, understood and the actions are refined and planned for.
FULL LIFE CYCLE INTEGRATION
McKnight pulls together everything in terms of fully integrated service offerings and the people who have the depth and breadth across data (operations data, metadata, reference data, transaction data, data quality and data governance), business processes (management, modeling, and process interactions), and applications lifecycle management. Our action plan consultants have broad understanding of the underlying technology infrastructure and its management and optimization.
DELIVERABLES
Within each plan, topics of particular interest or relevance may be addressed to a greater or lesser degree. The action plan will cover the following:
•Architecture: System design, data flows, timing, data model
•Technology: Platform, tools, technical considerations
•Process: Governance, standards, metadata, testing and change control, security, training, support, ROI measurement
•Organization: Roles and responsibilities, internal and external service level agreements |
