Encyclopedia
The Institute for the Management of Information Systems (IMIS) is the leading international association promoting excellence in the field of Information Systems Management through professional association and education. Its headquarters is in the United Kingdom
but the majority of its approximately 12,000 members are outside that country. The Institute was founded in the 1960s as the Institute of Data Processing Management, and is a registered charity. The Institute has consistently played a prominent role in fostering greater understanding of the importance of IS management, working to enhance the status of those engaged in the profession, and promoting higher standards through better education and training, both in the UK and overseas.
While there are several professional associations concentrating primarily on the technical side of the IS equation, IMIS is the only one which focuses specifically on the practical application and management of information systems within our society. It strives towards the recognition of Information Systems Management as one of the key professions influencing the future of our world.
