The person behind this blog is young graphic designer Jose Illenberger, a Fine Arts graduate from the University of the Philippines who also won a Webby in the past for doing the website of a top university in Manila. A look at his CV tells you that he is no stranger to the online world, being the creative spirit behind some of the notable corporate and institutional websites in the country.

Information lifecycle management (ILM) is a powerful IT strategy based on the simple fact that all information is not created equal.

Based on its changing value to your organization, your information requires different levels of accessibility and protection.
