Packaging and Reselling Information: Does Your Information Architecture Take Advantage of All Market Opportunities? | 2008-05-20 | IBM |
| Over the past few months, this series has explored many of the elements involved in the creation of a successful information architecture design. Once the user has set up the design that works best for the organization, the user might be tempted to sit back and relax. But there is one more item to consider: The design potentially holds information that some people might be willing to pay a lot of money for. If the user hasn't yet thought of packaging and reselling that information to make money for the organization, now might be the time to consider it. The most common use of the information retrieved from the design is for mailing lists.

Information Architecture Essentials, Part 7: Data-Store Design - The Role of Information Architecture in Data-Store Design | 2008-05-13 | IBM |
| Valuable business information should never be left sitting around. It should be organized and saved into a permanent data store. In the past, these data stores were represented by large filing rooms filled with cabinets. Today, the same goal is achieved by using relational and other types of electronic databases. Just like those dusty file systems of yore, a legacy database tends to become the final resting place for useful business information - and this information is essentially lost, because it can't be accessed in a meaningful way. Data-store design can help the user establish an efficient mechanism to store and retrieve valuable business information.
