Company XYZ is a mid-sized manufacturing company that produces consumer goods. As the company
grew, they began to struggle with managing the vast amount of information generated by their business
operations. They faced several issues, including:

 Disorganized Information: Company XYZ had data stored in various locations, including physical
files, digital files on local computers, and cloud storage. As a result, employees had difficulty
finding the information they needed, which resulted in a waste of time and effort.
 Inefficient Data Sharing: The company's different departments were working in silos, making it
difficult to share information across departments. This often led to duplication of work,
miscommunication, and delays in decision-making.
 Security Risks: With sensitive business information stored across multiple locations, Company
XYZ faced potential security risks, including the risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, and
data loss.

To address these issues, Company XYZ implemented an information management system. They hired an
external consultant to help them design and implement a system that would meet their needs. The
consultant identified the following steps to improve information management:

 Centralized Data Storage: The consultant recommended that the company centralize their data
storage in a secure location, accessible to all employees. This would make it easier to organize
and access information.
 Cloud-Based System: The consultant suggested that Company XYZ move their data to a cloud-
based system. This would allow employees to access data from anywhere, facilitating efficient
data sharing and collaboration across departments.
 Information Classification: The consultant recommended that the company classify their
information by type and importance. This would help ensure that sensitive information was
protected and that employees had access to the information they needed.
 Standardized Naming Conventions: To further facilitate information organization, the consultant
suggested that the company adopt standardized naming conventions for files and folders. This
would make it easier for employees to find the information they needed.
 Employee Training: Finally, the consultant recommended that the company provide training to
employees on the new information management system. This would ensure that all employees
were comfortable with the new system and could use it effectively.

After implementing these changes, Company XYZ saw significant improvements in their information
management. Employees were able to find information more easily, share information across
departments efficiently, and the company was able to better protect sensitive information. Overall, the
information management system allowed Company XYZ to operate more efficiently, resulting in
improved business outcomes.
