These training courses prepare you for both the technical and the organizational aspects of information management and functional management.  

Why are BiSL and functional management so important?

Functional management is the link between the IT department and the users in an organization. It focuses on ensuring that the IT systems and applications align well with the needs of the business and the users. 

BiSL® (Business Information Services Library), edition 4, is the leading framework for functional management and information management. The framework provide best practices for bridging the gap between business and IT effectively. Using BiSL, organizations gain insight into the most important focal points for optimum information provision, contributing to organizational success. 

What is the role of a functional manager or a BiSL expert within an organization?

Functional managers are responsible for the day-to-day management of IT systems, ensuring that they align optimally with users’ needs. This includes such tasks as translating business needs and requirements into IT solutions, managing changes to applications and systems and supporting users in their daily work with the IT systems. In addition, functional managers monitor the performance of applications, making sure they continue to function consistently and reliably. 

BiSL experts have a broader and more strategic role. These professionals focus on applying the BiSL framework in order to structure information management within an organization. BiSL experts provide long-term planning of information provision and deal with issues concerning how IT systems can be optimized to meet an organization’s future information needs. Their tasks include drafting information policies, analyzing information flows and advising the organization on the best ways to use technology to maximize business value. 

Although functional managers and BiSL experts cooperate closely, these roles often differ.
