Information Management

Posted on September 12, 2021September 12, 2021

As information is an asset that can be in either a physical or electronic form it could be said that information management is really the modern-day practice of asset management.  Organizations that can manage information well in today’s knowledge-based economy are those that will likely prosper and create a competitive advantage over their competitors.   

Universities and Information Management Sector

There are a growing number of people working in the information management sector inside the universities.  People occupying these positions are often referred to as data analysts.  University-based data analysts design data collection tools and methods for data evaluation.  They also set up systems for quality control of research and prepare reports for administrators filled with operational data so that they can make informed decisions around the enrolment and program development.

Health and the Information Management Sector

There are many different positions health information management workers can hold in the health information management sector.  Specific health information management jobs inside the hospitals can be anything from health information manager, medical coder, to an outpatient coding compliance auditor, or a medical research analyst.

Project Management and Information Management Sector Jobs

Project management jobs in the Information Management sector can pay between $150,000 to $200,000 depending on the company.  In these positions, Project Management helps an organization deliver secure and reliable IT applications and reporting tools.  These jobs often require working on-premise, at a vendor-hosted site, and/or in a cloud-based remote worksite.  Project work of this nature tends to use special software such a SaaS for making updates and adjustments.

Why is Information Management Important?

Information Management when done right ensures that the right people, get the right information, in the right format in a timely manner.  This can be a complicated process regardless of what field you apply your information management skills to.  First of all, getting Information Management assignments done right means having to work through a complicated process, involving a range of information governance, information asset management, information security records management, and even access to information and privacy legislation.
