Information Management
     
        The planning, budgeting, control and exploitation of the
        information resources in an organisation.  The term
        encompasses both the information itself and the related
        aspects such as personnel, finance, marketing, organisation
        and technologies and systems.  Information Managers are
        responsible for the coordination and integration of a wide
        range of information handling activities within the
        organisation.  These include the formulation of corporate
        information policy, design, evaluation and integration of
        effective information systems and services, the exploitation
        of IT for competitive advantage and the integration of
        internal and external information and data.
