Our Approach and Philosophy
Strategy Development and Execution
Information Media Partners will help you define a workable strategic planning process as well as business opportunities for action. Our approach is progressive, starting with a clear understanding of your current environment including products, competitive positioning, organization and financial situation. We also work together with you to define, as closely as possible, the end state representation — where you would like your business to be. In the end, we build a strategy program designed to bridge the gap between your current position and your ideal environment.
Content Management
Information and publishing/media companies have long understood the value of ‘content’ since it defines the publishing and information industry. With divergent user expectations and multiple access points for content usage/engagement, media companies must develop content management and creation strategies that allow them complete control and unlimited flexibility.
Information Media Partners can help publishers document existing content management strategies and will recommend changes to support their goals. Often, this process requires strategic thinking about how the publisher wants to engage their target market in the use of their content.
Technology Assessment
Many publishing companies are saddled with legacy technology which cannot support their desired business goals. Our experience in technology consulting and software development, specifically in the publishing segment, gives us a unique set of skills to help our publishing clients. We have conducted global-scale technology capability reviews as well as vendor-specific application software evaluation.
Information Media Partners has direct experience working with companies that face challenges in creating technology environments, staffing and partnerships to support their business strategy.
