title: Building an information management infrastructure in the 90s: the Vanderbilt experiment.
abstract: The course that an organization takes to create a competitive information management infrastructure is determined by a series of decisions, each of which balances tradeoffs. Key success factors include sequencing projects to reflect data requirements; obtaining benefits as cost is incurred; establishing an architecture that permits integration of applications; managing project scope; and establishing a data friendly culture.
