Information Management (IM) is a systematic organisational work process for the information lifecycle: acquisition or collection (generation), organising and distribution (communication, distribution matrix), storing or archiving (numbering and filing system) and disposal (information (document) retention policy). Each information is needed to be assigned a responsible person to develop the correct information before released, and distributed to the right person or organisation, who should have it to support further progress and making right decision. An IM includes information storage or archiving to assure an accessibility for all relevant organisation, location and time depending on information confidentiality requirement, and security requirement (IP). An IM performs in accordance with the company information management policy and the project information (document) management and control procedures.
