Association for Intelligent Information Management Launches Update to Certified Information Professional Credential
Silver Spring, Maryland – The Association for Intelligent Information Management (AIIM) debuted a new version of the Certified Information Professional (CIP) credential. As of November 27, 2023, AIIM is offering a new version of the exam, which reflects the skills needed for today’s information professionals.
The CIP is an internationally recognized information management certification.
AIIM created the CIP in 2011 to recognize information professionals with the skills to protect and manage information and develop organization-wide strategies based on established methodologies and industry best practices. The CIP helps credential holders, and their organizations stand out in today’s information-driven world. Since it’s establishment, over 4,000 professionals have earned the CIP.
To obtain a CIP credential, an information management professional must pass a proctored, 100-question multiple-choice exam. Certified professionals display “CIP” as a post nominal.
The CIP encompasses the entire information lifecycle and focuses on five critical areas that comprise Intelligent Information Management:
- Creating, capturing, and sharing information
- Extracting intelligence from information
- Digitalizing information-intensive processes
- Automating governance and compliance
- Implementing an information management strategy and solution
The newly updated exam features all new multiple-choice questions and includes new sections on artificial intelligence, large language models, intelligent document processing, and robotic process automation. AIIM also released an updated CIP Study Guide to help interested participant prepare for the exam.
The latest version of the exam was the result of months of work by industry thought leaders from around the world. These professionals made up a CIP Task Force, appointed by the AIIM Board of Directors. The task force reviewed and updated the exam blueprint; authored new exam items; and provided strategic guidance. Led by standards expert Betsy Fanning, the task force included:
