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)
5. www.aiim.org©AIIM 2017
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

7. www.aiim.org©AIIM 2017
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)

Notas do Editor We have over the last few years seen a growing debate about this from end-users (like BP), vendors and analysts (like Gartner and Forrester)…
One example;
Deb Logan and Regina Casonata from Gartner published around 6 months ago a report called “CIO Alert: You Need Information Professionals”
I quote:
“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.” This profession needs a body of knowledge - what do they need to know about mobile apps, taxonomies, folksonomies, social networking, master data management, etc.
We also saw a need 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. And what is the feedback so far….
"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)
“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)
“The AIIM Information Certification clearly connects all aspects of content, people, data and processes.”
Vikram Setia (Managing Partner, infoMENTUM Limited)
We did a survey in early 2011 amongst 1450+ industry experts to kick-off the development of the new certification.
The survey respondents were asked to prioritize the knowledge areas identified by the Forrester report “A Snapshot Of Today’s Content And Collaboration Professional,” November 3, 2010.
The skills analysis was done by SMEs in multiple workshops
Development was done according to ISO17024 - an ISO standard for how to certify professionals
