The company has several existing asset databases that should be integrated through this system. Design a layered architecture for this asset management system based on the generic information system architecture shown in Figure 6.8 (also found in Ch6 presentation slides #28, #29).

Information Management

  

2-3 pages

Regardless of industry, organizations are responsible to protect and secure their customers’ information. Information management is the process of protecting an organization’s data in terms of:

· Classification and handling.

· Privacy.

· Document and records management.

· Sensitive physical information.

To reduce the risk of customer information being jeopardized, organizations often establish a separation of duties to ensure employees only have access to the information they need to do their jobs. Organizations need to abide by several U.S. privacy laws and regulations to be in compliance and to protect consumers.
