Your Information | OCIE Fixed Content Information Service

Your information is more than data. Use it wisely.™

Definitions

The following definitions help distinguish the difference between information and data:

INFORMATION –

the output of computer systems, published for human users. Once created it is fixed content.

DATA –

computer content used by computer systems to create information.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS –

programs that apply logic, formulas, and formatting to create information from data.

FIXED CONTENT –

read-only, static content that represents information snap-shots at a given point in time.

WISELY –

shrewdly, intelligently, astutely, cleverly, prudently, sensibly, judiciously.

YOUR INFORMATION –

information from any source for which you are responsible. Sources might include output from your computer systems (e.g. Accounting, Payroll, Excel, Word, Cognos, SAP, and internally created systems) and output from other sources (e.g. Regulators, Banks, Insurance Companies, Dealers, Suppliers, Customers, Agents). In contrast, the Internet or Wikipedia are not your information unless you copy and paste to a business letter or report.

OCIE® –

a complete fixed content information service with servers and storage at a customer-specified hosting site (usually their computer room). Allows users to manage information wisely.
