11:00am - 12:00pm
Conference Session
Level: Introductory
Most enterprises speak of information
as a corporate asset, and certainly information is a primary currency
for business. Yet, while they account for and maintain an inventory of
material assets, human resources and financial assets, few organizations
measure or manage their information assets as formally. Even deep into
this information age, current accounting practices forbid ascribing an
accepted value to units of information.
In this session, Mr. Laney will share information valuation methods he
has developed and applied at numerous organizations, specifically addressing:
- the comparison and contrast of information assets to other classes of
established assets
- discrete formulae for quantifying the relative and financial value of
information asset sets
- guidance on applying “information accounting” metrics to
information management architecture, infrastructure, applications, and
governance
