Information Management Plan

28
Q

What does RI means ?

A

Relevant Information

29
Q

What are the purpose of an IMP ?

A

Assign IM policies, identifie how RI should be handled, provide guidance to system management organizations.

30
Q

What are the 3 steps in the system management process ?

A
  1. Plan
  2. Direct
  3. Monitor.
31
Q

What does SM means ?

A

System Management

32
Q

33
Q

Describe capacity SM principle.

A

Modular, scalable.

34
Q

Describe economy SM principle.

A

service desk functions should be centralized with the senior deploying HQ. Less experienced personnel should be the first point of contact.

35
Q

Describe flexibility SM principle.

A

CIS must be robust. The lost of a few components should not shut down the network.
