2019 – Third Time’s the Charm: How One University Finally Launched Enterprise Information Management

Presentation Summary

Google the term Enterprise Information Management and you’ll get a host of definitions. They include phrases like “optimizing the use of information”, “managing data as an asset”, and “enabling business insight.” These are great goals, but figuring out where to start can be challenging. This presentation focuses on RIT’s EIM journey and how – after three tries – we finally gained traction. We’ll discuss our EIM organizational structure, our data stewardship model, and the domain model upon which it is based. Finally, we will share our vision and plan for an enterprise information catalog.
