Information management requirements of modern organizations

Organizations needing to record, store, manage and use information face many challenges – information overload, data security issues, compliance with data management regulations and more. The information management process is complex, and managing information in such a way as to turn it into useful intelligence in real-time, is even more so.

For organizations for whom information management is mission-critical, every angle needs to be considered. This is why Memex has developed a platform capability which addresses every single facet of mission-critical information searching and management:

The information management process

We’ve considered the process – from initial input, gathering and collation of information through to its searching, analysis and distribution to the right people.  Memex goes far beyond simple storage of data with world class data integration (for import and export of data), enterprise search and analysis and visualization capabilities.

Mission-critical information management requires security and compliance

The Memex platform capability respects two key elements of mission-critical information management: information security and audit compliance. Mission-critical information has to be totally secure and available only to the right people. Furthermore, the information gathered has to be stored in such a way as to comply with regulations and not infringe upon individual human rights.

Usability and workflow drive ownership

Memex’s platform capability also addresses two supporting elements of the information management process – usability and workflow. Without an intuitive system, users will find it difficult, or be reluctant, to input information into the system. A system that insists that users adapt to its processes rather than the other way round will never be truly “owned” by those users. There is little or no ROI without ownership.

Configurability drives ROI

A key factor in organizations choosing Memex is the configurability of our platform – you can configure your Memex system yourself as processes and requirements change, without referring back to Memex and incurring additional costs.  Since configurability keeps lifetime costs low for the Memex system, it also drives ROI.

In conclusion, Memex's platform capability is all-encompassing, addressing all elements of mission-critical information management.  This capability delivers a system which not only manages all stages of the information management process, but also addresses the essential requirements of information security, audit compliance, usability, workflow and configurability.
