WHAT WE THINK
The information business never stops evolving. Join us in the front row seats of that evolution.
New media types emerge, new mechanisms are invented to govern these new media, and laws are enacted to prevent the misuse of personal data and the distortion of official information. Behind the scenes the technology that processes and distributes information is also always evolving, making it a challenge for information services to keep up with the pace of the innovation.
At IEI we develop and apply industry best practices related to data acquisition, privacy concerns, data provenance, etc. so our customers can stay ahead of the curve in this dynamic environment.
Our ‘Data Content Best Practices’ email newsletter, archived below, highlights the pressing issues that information services face and explains how our industry’s most innovative players are navigating these challenges.
