Welcome to the 
Information Management Body of Knowledge


Are you getting measurable, timely, benefits from your IT investment?
Are your IT resources fully and effectively deployed?
Are your information resources well managed?
Are you driving your IT strategy, or is it driving you?

This web, known as the "Information Management Body of Knowledge", is a collection of ideas and tools intended to assist anyone who is concerned to get the best out of their investment in information technology and the information systems that make it work. 

It emerged from research work undertaken in a partnership between the University of the Western Cape, and Cape Peninsula University of Techology (previously the Cape Technikon), both located in Cape Town, South Africa.  It has been used in the context of business, public administration and community informatics, and the IMBOK has been adopted as a standard course text in South Africa, Europe and North America. 

The handbook has been downloaded more than 2000 times, and given that it is free to copy there must be many more copies in circulation.
See a recent analysis of download history.
