The Need for CIP
 “Professional roles focused on information
management will be different to that of
established IT roles….An "information
professional" will not be one type of role or
skill set, but will in fact have a number of
specializations.”
(Deb Logan and Regina Casonata – Gartner - CIO Alert: You Need
Information Professionals)

Objective: Create a body of knowledge and a
means to certify understanding that allows
individuals to demonstrate their ability to solve
an organization's existing information-related
problems as well as plan for the future.
The CIP

Value of the CIP
 CIP is the certification to bridge the gap
 Between roles
 Between departments
 Between RM, IM, IT, and the business

Value of the CIP
 “Anyone in IT or in an information related discipline today should be thinking
about it."
 Ken Bisconti (Vice President, Enterprise Content Management Products and
Strategy, IBM Software Group)
 “There is hardly any person I know who would not benefit from the content of the
Certified Information Professional program”
 Tim Elmore (CIO, Bank-Fund Staff Federal Credit Union)
 “Every information management professional and information architect should
become a Certified Information Professional.”
 J. Kevin Parker (SharePoint SME)
 “The Certified Information Professional certification is the best way to move your
organization to the modern world!”
 Catherine Webber (President, Smart Government)

data and processes.”
 Vikram Setia (Managing Partner, infoMENTUM Limited)

The Development Process

knowledge (with Kryterion).
4. Build educational materials to kick start
engagement.
