Fitting technology to how information works instead of force-fitting information to how technology works vastly improves how we use both information and technology.  

 

	•	Information management is built on information engines that have everything we can do with information already built in providing for the creation of complex information systems with no software development.   • Systems are tailored by mapping what a business's information is instead of programming what a computer has to do to it (as all information usages are already solved within the engine).   • Information engines provide business specific usages by "following" the business specific map.   • Creating and keeping a system current is the relatively simple expedient of creating and keeping an information map current.
	•	Systems are created in days and weeks instead of the months and years required for conventional systems
	•	Business uses its information as it needs when it needs without waiting for IT departments to develop results for them (results that are in the engine long before anyone decides they want that usage for their situation).
	•	All purpose meta-systems replace the collection of special purpose but limited possibility systems that can never provide complete information management.
	•	Information management is wholly independent of any "platform," present and future. (Just because engine technology changes, doesn't mean the information map changes.  Conversely, just because the information map changes doesn't mean the information engine has to change.)
	•	Systems never becomes obsolete having the intrinsic ability to evolve and change as business and technology evolve and change.
	•	Most of the activities and costs of conventional system development and information management are eliminated.
	•	Information management budgets are slashed by well over half.
