66 percent of business executives think having CIP-certified staff would improve their ability to find, manage and exploit their information assets across the enterprise.
vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner Research, and Regina Casonato, managing vice president at Gartner Research, confirmed the need for a professional designation for the emerging information professional, a role distinct from current IT skill sets. "An 'information professional' will not be one type of role or skill set, but will in fact have a number of specializations," wrote Logan and Casonato in the 2011 Gartner "."
The designation was developed by a team of subject matter experts in conjunction with AIIM, in accordance with ISO 17024 methodologies. The purpose of the certification is to establish a core body of knowledge relevant to the needs of content and information professionals. The certification exams are independently administered by the global testing centers. Free and are available now from AIIM.
