Kestral Group employs a 5 Pillars methodology to achieving Enterprise Information Management success. This approach is designed to help companies realize substantial benefits by building on their ECM investments and providing unified access to all relevant corporate information. By adopting a standard classification and categorization model that can be applied to Records Management, ECM, KM, Enterprise Search, and BPM technologies, companies can effectively leverage all of their information assets together, increasing the efficiency of their users. Gartner agrees, stating that "EIM will become critical as companies move toward architectures that support business efficiency and agility by design".
