The vast majority of your business information is not the structured content stored nicely in databases – It’s the chaotic mess of free-floating unstructured content like document collections, spreadsheets, engineering drawings, financial reports, images, emails, social media posts, video call transcripts, and so much more.
This is where significant value, and risk, reside – requiring meticulous governance and control.
Every piece of data must be trusted and expertly managed throughout its lifecycle, from its creation to its eventual retirement. When properly analyzed, organized, and modeled, this data becomes a powerful tool, enabling best-in-class predictions and informed decision-making.
Armed with a clear strategy, we craft technology, governance, and people solutions to remove the chaos, organize and control your information, and manage risk. We then implement advanced technologies and strategies to ensure you remain at the forefront of information management, extracting value and driving business transformation for the future.
We establish enduring relationships with our clients, immersing ourselves in your business landscape to design information management strategies and solutions that adapt and grow with you. Our commitment to trust and excellence is evident, with some of our partnerships with Fortune 100 companies spanning nearly four decades.

In a strategic move towards modernization, the LaDOTD aligned with the Office of Technology Services’ (OTS) vision to unify and enhance statewide technology access, infrastructure, and governance. This alignment marked a significant shift, positioning IBM FileNet as the state’s chosen platform for electronic document management.
Information management builds on records management and document management activities to create a comprehensive system of policies, processes, and tools designed to control and maintain information, so that its value can be leveraged throughout its useful life.
In reality, no. Content management systems are designed to keep track of the work that employees create in the course of business. To get the most value out of content management systems, they need to be designed and configured with your company’s information landscape in mind. Without the right implementation, they will not adequately control records, or systematically handle non-business information.
This depends on your organization’s structure and corporate culture, and how your company communicates its business standards and values. Commonly, information management resides in legal, risk management, compliance, or information technology functions. Increasingly, organizations are creating a separate information-oriented executive office, headed by a Chief Information Officer or Chief Data Officer.
We establish a scalable governance structure with processes, classification schemes, and useful tools for managing information at the source.
To improve user adoption, we recruit individuals from across the organization to actively participate in program activities and improvement. This also enables rapid response to changing business needs and regulatory requirements, maintaining the momentum of implementation.
To reduce operating costs and minimize an organization’s information footprint, we develop a streamlined program for employees to create, access, use, and dispose of information throughout the information lifecycle. Our team researches the legal and regulatory retention requirements that apply to your organization, in order to define and implement defensible disposition of physical and electronic information. This allows the organization to derive cost savings wherever the information management program touches. The better you understand the information you create and use, the more value you can realize.
