The Enterprise Information Management environment is comprised of a suite of applications that manage information regardless of format and throughout its entire lifecycle. The Enterprise Information Management environment increases operational effectiveness, improves information delivery services, and ensures legal compliance.

The integration of governance, technology and business rules will ensure a well-established Enterprise Information Management environment.

EIM Business rules direct the user on how to manage their information in the Enterprise Information Management environment. The business rules also advise how the EIM environment must be configured to meet legislative requirements.

Business rules help promote consistent information management practices across the City and standardize the way our information is organized and managed at the record/document level.

What are EIM Business Rules used for?
