For the first time in South Africa - AIIM's Information Organisation & Access Master Certificate Programme

Johannesburg, 04 Feb 2008

NokusaEI is proud to be the official AIIM partner in South Africa, accredited by AIIM to host its training programmes. AIIM represents the information management community as the global association for both users and suppliers of enterprise content management solutions - the strategies, services and technologies that enable organisations to capture, manage, store, preserve and deliver information to support business processes.

The Information Organisation & Access (IOA) Certificate Programme is designed from global best practices among AIIM's 70 000 members.

The programme covers concepts and technologies for enterprise search, content inventory and classification, categorisation and clustering, fact and entity extraction, taxonomy creation and management, information presentation and information governance.

The analyst company Gartner has in recent years been using the term "information access technology" to include and expand on what they previously called "enterprise search technology". They use the term information access to include a collection of technologies to help businesses find and organise information.

AIIM introduced the phrase "information organisation & access" (IOA) instead of just "information access", since access to information relies on good organisation of information. The AIIM Education Advisory Groups have also identified as a priority the development of professional skills focused on the organisation of information, such that enterprises can make it more readily accessible to further their business objectives. With digital information around the world doubling every three years (according to a UC-Berkeley study), there is an urgent need for IOA within our industry.

NokusaEI will deliver South Africa's first IOA certificate programme from 25-28 February 2008. An international trainer from AIIM will present the programme. It will take place at our NokusaEI's Training Centre in Johannesburg.

The benefits of becoming IOA Master (IOAM) are:

* Position yourself to be tomorrow's leader by enhancing your business and professional skills;
* Learn global best practices for planning and implementing IOA;
* Discover real-world solutions and best practices for challenges you face; and
* Learn from experts in the field who are able to answer your questions, available to address your comments, and willing to accept your feedback.

The target audience for IOA are managers, business analysts, IT managers, compliance officers, archivists, librarians, risk managers, records managers, and information managers, as well as solution providers, sales consultants, project managers, and technical staff.
