Instantly accessible information is becoming an integral part of our lives and customer expectations about reliability, availability and accessibility of information are increasing rapidly. The amounts of information available, both in structured and unstructured form are growing almost exponentially. For business users Information Management (IM) is critical for decision making and building excellence in customer, supply chain, finance, human resources and other management functions. The information needs of users have moved from time-lagged information needs to (near) real-time needs. Concurrently, evolutions and revolutions in information distribution channels, processing techniques and storage capabilities take place.
