Time for a definition. I meant to send this a while back, but got
sidetracked by work. Please note that the key to successful ILM
(Information Life Cycle Management as defined in the IT world) is the
application of established BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS for managing the data,
records, and information. Who sets the business requirements? RIM
folks, of course, as part of the Life Cycle Management of Records &
Information.
"Information Lifecycle Management: the policies, processes, practices,
services and tools used to align the business value of information with
the most appropriate and cost effective infrastructure from the time
information is created through its final disposition. Information is
aligned with BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS through management policies and
service levels associated applications, metadata, and applications,
metadata, and data.
The ILM Framework provides management and control of the IT
Infrastructure abstracted in terms that are relevant to Business
Requirements in the management of Information used by a Business
Process. To this end, the Business Framework defines what the goals are
in the management of Applications and Information. Goals Management
provides the abstraction and the transformation of these goals into
policies that it implements in the
Network, Compute, and Storage Infrastructures, and through Data
Management and Information Management Services. Goals Management
provides feedback to the business regarding the costs, risks, and
status."
