IMCue Solutions

Why the name? IM = Information Management   +   Cue = The Key, Prepare to get started, Get ready!

Founded in 2007 by John Ladley, IMCue is a response to a growing need for enterprise level accountability for information management. IMCue is staffed by thought leaders and ground breaking practitioners in Enterprise Information Management (EIM). We practiced EIM long before the term became adopted as a “trend.” Our mantra is business results, and we achieve these results with our expertise. Our consultants have literally hundreds of years of combined experience in delivering strategic, tactical, business-aligned solutions our clients.

We are not purveyors of templates or high theory. We are:

• Practical:  It is relatively easy to build a strategy for your data warehouse, data quality, MDM or other information program. It is quite another matter to actually deploy and sustain these efforts.    IMCue has years of experience mentoring and preparing your organization to be successful.
• Realistic:  A few Google™ searches can inundate you with “best practice” articles and other short-form bits of advice.   But when the rubber meets the road, information projects never conform to the theoretical “best practice.” Politics, business conditions, and personalities always mean there is some adjustment to the theoretical ideal.  IMCue is just as comfortable doing thing “bottom up” as we are “top down.”
• Innovative:  IMCue has developed methods and techniques that reduce the time to market for many different kinds of information projects – data warehouse, MDM, data governance, data quality, and in any combination.
