About the self-paced course
This a course on how to build an Information Management System (IMS) from the ground up, transforming scattered data points into clear, actionable insights you can rely on in real time.
It aims to help professionals move beyond raw or unstructured data and systems that have been created to merely satisfy compliance and reporting requirements to the logic of information management system design, so as to answer critical project/program questions through strong data governance.
The self-paced course provides a structured approach for designing and rolling out a complete information management system, from foundational planning to implementation and maintenance.
It covers the key IMS components (people, processes, tools), system requirements (data, process, user, reporting requirements) and helps you translate organizational policies and procedures into a robust database design using ActivityInfo's basic and advanced features.
