Information Management

The speed at which large amounts of varying data now change demands evolving information management (IM) techniques. And a farsighted approach to enterprise information, data collection, system design and change management is paramount to mastering expanding information archives.

Cooperation is also essential: when legacy systems, new technologies and diverse stakeholders work together, business leaders have the data necessary to confidently formulate well-informed responses to emerging opportunities. Conversely, information that is inaccessible when needed is like having no information at all.

From data to action

PwC helps you develop IM strategies, architectures and governance frameworks that help transform data into insight and action. We help companies to better manage the complexity of their data and enterprise content in order to reduce costs and ensure the integrity of information assets.

By using business intelligence and applied analytics, PwC can show you how to better anticipate and manage risks and enhance performance through better information, greater insight and refined decision-making capabilities.

We help clients to:

Align information with business objectives
Turn data to insight
Leverage technology to gain competitive advantage
Use knowledge assets to reduce risk and build value

Align information with business objectives

Information management helps companies achieve and maintain agility in their business decisions, whether these are strategic or operational. When information management is aligned with business objectives, the quality, timing and impact of business decisions can be significantly improved with lower cost and minimal disruption to people and processes

Turn data to insight

The continuing growth of data creates opportunities that were not possible only a few years ago. New sources of data and classes of technologies can provide insights that drive competitive advantage and profit. Information management facilitates and enables the transformation of complex data to insight and advantage for decision makers at all levels of the organisation

Leverage technology to gain competitive advantage

Information investments can be improved to harness the analytical capabilities those systems can provide, which enables an organisation to improve the collection, management and analysis of data for better decision making

Use knowledge assets to reduce risk and build value

From information risk management and regulatory compliance issues to unpredictable crises, uncertainty is rife when a firm invests in new products, services and processes. But analytics that monitor, appraise and manage risk on an ongoing basis can improve the quality and precision of business tactics and risk-management decisions alike

Big Data

Think big

Big Data is about much more than data. It represents a new way of doing business – one that is driven by data-based decision-making. Leveraging Big Data capabilities, large volumes of varied sources of data – both internal and from third-parties – can deliver “intelligence at the moment” - insight and intelligence derived from fast moving data sets can help inform split second strategy decisions, spur innovation, inspire new products, enhance customer relationships, uncover fraud, bolster operations and build competitive advantage.
