Making EIM Work for Business

OCDQ Radio is a vendor-neutral podcast about data quality and its related disciplines, produced and hosted by Jim Harris.

During this episode, I discuss Enterprise Information Management (EIM) with John Ladley, the author of the excellent book Making EIM Work for Business, exploring what makes information management, not just useful, but valuable to the enterprise.

John Ladley is a business technology thought leader with 30 years of experience in improving organizations through the successful implementation of information systems.  He is a recognized authority in the use and implementation of business intelligence and enterprise information management.  John Ladley frequently writes and speaks on a variety of technology and enterprise information management topics.  His information management experience is balanced between strategic technology planning, project management, and, most important, the practical application of technology to business problems.
