About Information Management

The Information Management Practice (IM) at The 451 Group brings together our research and advisory work focused on how information is managed, accessed, leveraged, archived, stored, protected and retained.

It starts with our storage coverage, including both storage systems and the software to manage them. Our data management coverage includes relational and specialist (non-relational) databases, data integration and data warehousing. Our content management, enterprise search and text analysis coverage focuses on how to tackle mainly unstructured data.

At the application end, we focus on business intelligence, analytics, reporting and performance management - the tools to leverage and analyze the fruits of this information management.

Finally, we specialize in areas that have driven recent innovation and revenues, including e-discovery (or e-disclosure, as it’s known in Europe) and information governance - a way to tie all of this together into a governance framework.

We work with our colleagues throughout The 451 Group to deliver timely and analytical research by focusing on:

  • The activities of vendors bringing products to market, especially startups
  • The needs and experiences of enterprise end users
  • Factors and considerations influencing funding and M&A
