Big Data is valuable for companies in that it can help to determine and fulfill customer needs, thereby maximizing a company’s operational efficiencies. Companies with a lot of data need a team of professionals to manage this information. One effective solution to manage big data is Records and Information Management (RIM).

I thought I’d summarize some of the press I see about the iManage spinout from HP. If you come across other updates, feel free to enter them in the comments. I have to admit from the perspective of an association that relies on independent companies as members; I’m kind of glad to see the acquisition pendulum go in the other direction for a change. We don’t take official positions on these types of things, but it does seem to be a win/win for both HP and iManage.
