When implementing business information management, one needs to achieve the best possible
outcome in the midst of these influences.
Understanding this has led to changes in how people think about business information management
and also to a specific manner in which the framework is implemented. In the past business information
management was largely positioned and implemented as the driving force behind IT and its
organizational structure. There has been a clear shift in attention towards requirements: familiarity with
the relevant business processes, the determination of requirements and the translation of this into the
information provisioning within an acceptable scope (for example, in the field of finance).
