Technology Levels of Information Management Systems


This fine article presents the different levels for information management systems for development
projects. Development projects have increasingly realized the Importance of Information Management System
(IMS). With advancement of technology, automated system is getting popularity. However, it is not the computer alone that makes the system functional. An excel based automated system constituting filing of record sheets, data entry in excel spread sheet, analysis using pivot table and reporting information will be a good start considering the cost and expertise. Development projects have increasingly realized the importance of Information Management System (IMS) for aiding decision making and programming. IMS constitutes information need identification, techniques and tools for collating data, analyzing data to generate and
disseminate information to stakeholders.
