Information Resource Management is one of the concepts of the Information Management System, as for the understanding of the Management Information System is a course that studies a system that presents the management of information work through using a system approach based on management principles.

Operationally management can be defined as executing the functions of units in the organization to plan, budget, organize, direct, implement, supervise, and evaluate the work of each unit.

Furthermore, the IRM requires comprehensive management of all components of information processing technology and human elements, so that both can gather, process, deploy, and manage information, which is the main organizational asset.

Top management planning of a company that will establish the use of computerization that will be useful to know the creation of information resources and its management Information resources management (IRM), if the company will implement IRM then there must be three elements, namely:

  1. The computer's top executives report directly to a leader called the Chief Information Officer (CIO).

Development or development and application of Information Resource Management system in an organization must be adjusted to the vision and mission of the organization. The main purpose in the development and development of Information Resource Management should be able to "humanize" employees of an organization by utilizing information technology to help carry out daily work activities. Before developing or replacing new systems, existing old systems must be understood and reviewed for their shortcomings and advantages.

In making the Information Resource Management model, the common format used is the same as the input subsystems, databases, and output subsystems that have been used in other functional areas. The input subsystem is a standard combination of data processing, research, and intelligence. In many companies, databases are placed in computer storage. The output subsystem reflects the flow of human resources within the company.

  10. Subsystem benefit

  11. Environmental reporting subsystem
