Information Management (IM) is the challenge of the decade for organisations of almost any size.  IM is not a new concept, nor has the basic premise behind it changed.  However, the general business ecosystem has changed forcing organisations to focus on IM as a matter of urgency. 

The primary reasons for this are:

• An explosion of information that is still growing at an exponential rate.

• A more pressing need to exploit information for competitive advantage.

• Recognition that information has benefit but also carries risk when not managed.

• An increasingly litigious culture with higher levels of compliancy expectation.

• Information Management now includes knowledge and social content.

• A need to share more information but still retain protection over intellectual property.

In today’s business environment, IM is a significant challenge. The majority of this challenge revolves around business process and cultural change. By integrating with the day-to-day tools that are in common use (i.e. Microsoft Office) it is possible to reduce the overhead involved in building and implementing an effective IM strategy. SharePoint's framework allows it to integrate comfortably with other products - ultimately allowing SharePoint to act as the focal point for the IM technology platform.
