Information Centric deals with the stored Information as Units of Information
across all 5 Phases of the circular IT Life-cycle Management (ITLM) process

Strategies - Information Centric
| Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)
| Technology Architecture
Technology Architecture is different than ITIL.
Technology Architecture organizes, classifies, and categorizes
the products that make up an organization's technology portfolio.
| ITIL?
ITIL is a collection of best practice processes
(generally published as text within books)
| IT Service Management?
IT Service Management is the combination of a repository
and a set of management tools that support ITIL-like processes.
IT Service Management automates ITIL processes, especially by sharing informaction
across tasks, roles, and tools, by using a Change and Configuration Management Database
| SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture)?
SOA is very different still. It's an instance of an Application Architecture.
An Application Architecture's role is to specify how different components comprising
an application are able to communicate, both synchronously and asynchronously.
| Who Can Benefit?
Certainly the Enterprise but SMBs, and even SOHOs, can benefit from
Technology Architecture, ITIL, IT Service Management, and SOA
