The effective management of enterprise information requires best practices in the areas of people, processes, and technology. In this talk we will share both successful and unsuccessful practices in these areas. A framework for enterprise information management (EIM) will be presented along with recommended steps for successful realization of the vision. A phased approach is suggested and the role of good governance, as well as appropriate technology choices and architecture, will be discussed. A reference architecture for deployment will be recommended with a detailed description of required services and the interoperability requirements for realization of the architecture.
