The Information coordination process assists with the achievement of an alignment and controls the
interrelationship between the various plans for the information provision, which have been drawn up by the various entities involved in the information provisioning. All sorts of plans are drawn up at
various levels within business information management and the business structure, which directly or
indirectly affect the information provision, for example, portfolio-related plans at the corporate level,
the various plans of system owners for the future of their information systems, plans for structuring the
information provisioning and also plans for structuring business processes. All of the relevant entities
have different, divergent interests, which need to be aligned with each other to ensure the effective
information provisioning.
