Data, Information and Information Management

   There have several tentative of given an definition and make a difference between what we call Data, Information and Information management. Before taking a big step in deep of the topic i would like highlight this during the time i will have to spend my time on writing this short Blog, i would like also to thanks my lecturer in Information Technology Ms. Nur Khairunnisha Zaina for given me this opportunity to write this blog. Just now to move on we are going to start with the simple things to the complex one, it means that I am going to introduce you about what is Data, Information and Information Management in order  to get familiar by defining it first.
  •  Data: 
  • Is a facts  in raw of information stored by a computer and this information may be in a form of a text documents, image audio clips, software programs or other types of data and it is an input processing.
          2.  Information:
    • Information is when a data is organized and when this data make a sense and  it is used while we are making an decision it is also an output processing
           Process Data into Information:
    The process of data into information consist of three (3) basics steps which is very important.
    Step 1: According to the process Data is all about the Input; so, the data is being typed into the computer it can be images and this data will be stored on the hard disc of the computer.
    Step 2: The computer will convert, organize  and also will extract the data from the hard disk .
    Step 3: The Output which represent the information will be created and printed. 
    Input and Output data: It is any data and instruction which encompassing terms for any task that requires information to be entered into a computer in a variety of forms and will be processed at the output into a useful form.
    Information Management:
    It is the collection and the way of how we menage all kind of information that we receive. Information management include web content management, document management, records management an so on. Information management include some problems of managing the information. 
    To illustrate what we have learn so far,my group and I have made a presentation  about "Problems of Information Management". During our group presentation i was supposed to present about the poor quality of information and out of date information and i had to come out with some solution of the problems related to it.


    • In practice most of the information management systems need the active participation of the staff throughout the organization.
    • The quality of the information depends on the accuracy and is usually a function of accurate data collection.
    • Information need to be upgraded from time to time because information may change overtime
