Information Lifecycle Management WhitepaperWhat is a "Service Integrator?"
Information Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) is a service integrator. We integrate custom solutions from our "services inventory" in our virtual "IT warehouse." A service is any set of modular capabilities from one of four broad service classes: Conversion, Storage, Applications, Analysis. One conversion service might be comprised of onsite conversion of classified paper documents into PDFs. Another might be offsite conversion of unclassified film documents into TIFF images.
However, we can integrate services from any class to exponentially improve the total solution. Integrating records management capabilities from our Applications service class with your Conversion service can significantly improve your data utility, giving you the ability to automatically retain documents for set periods in tamper-proof form and purge them on predetermined schedules.
Data Exploitation Yields Actionable Intelligence for Solving Mission Problems
Our services also leverage our people, processes and infrastructure. You might augment a Conversion service by having our top secret cleared staff perform onsite conversion of classified documents using our mobile conversion process. Or you could quickly and affordably extend that service by leasing a hosted records management application that you'd access over a broadband network infrastructure.
Modular, flexible services are preferable to one-of-a-kind systems because the lifecycle of information technologies is shorter, while the lifecycle of electronic data is longer. What's more, data is increasing in both volume and speed, so enterprises must change faster. Why buy another provider's fixed system or service that you must replace or modify in months or even weeks as your needs change? Why not opportunistically adopt evolving modular services that IMC can aggregate quickly and update indefinitely?
Our value proposition is so compelling because we can apply our services across the entire information lifecycle, so you benefit from multi-dimensional, long-term solutions that are infinitely flexible. Other providers offer solutions that are ends in themselves. We provide solutions that are the means to whatever ends you might put your data in the future because our services readily proliferate and diversify as fast as your enterprise and data grow and change.
