Editorial Review

Book Description

Using the network to go get information that people want to do their jobs facilitates personal control of information. People generally know where the information they want to track resides; they just need a directory and security management to be able to get to it. Security is an essential aspect of tracking information over the network.

Personal control of information for business depends on file access and file management systems that resemble those implemented on a PC. It is just that they need to work for the Internet and enterprise networks. Anyone sitting at a desk needs to be able to get any information they want, so long as they know it exists and know generally where to look for it.

This is different from search engines and random information requests. Personal control of information relates to knowing that some information has been filed in the computer as part of a form or data entry routine. Then others in the same organization or the same enterprise eco system need to be able to access that information from a PC.

It is vital that information systems executives understand the market opportunity relating to the personal control of information. The consumer market opportunities for personal control of information differ from those presented by the business market opportunities. The personal control of information consumer market is based in entertainment, video, and photo exchange.

New systems are evolving that create the ability to support impromptu data dialing within an enterprise and its partners, the so-called eco system. Each eco system would have its own directory of data numbers that could be dialed. There would be a lot of overlap between eco systems, which is why it makes sense for a service provider to provide the service, not the enterprise IT department.

Personal control of information is seemingly at our fingertips with the advent of the personal computer, but remains ever elusive. People attempt to use e-mail, mission critical messaging, flat file transfer, FTP, instant messaging, unified messaging, applications integration, storage area networks, database management, and RISC instruction sets to address intuitive access to information.
