INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Information management (IM) is the process by which
relevant information is provided to decision-makers in a
timely manner (Davis, 1997). Information management has
largely been defined from an information systems
perspective and equated with the management of
information technology.

DATA
In a business context, data is associated with the
operational aspects of the business and its day-to-day
running. As such, it is often entered into a system and
stored in large quantities, for example payroll data and sales
figures.
DATA VALIDATION
Such input data goes to create a data ‘set’
Ex. – names and addresses for a mail-merge file, an index to an
online product database.
It has to be structured correctly – all systems have some
kind of validation process to check for obvious technical
errors and missing data.
Ex. – email addresses should include an @ sign and an email
engine, a name should be composed of letters
DATA INTEGRITY
refers to the accuracy and consistency of data stored in a
database, data warehouse, data mart or other construct.
To be reliable, the content needs to be accurate, not simply
in terms of the correct number and type of characters per
data field, but what the data represents in terms of
meaning.
