This is book one in the infoOut Series. I lay out an information-centered view of systems that supplements the usual technology and user centered views. My info-centric view is the foundation for the other books in the series, which focus on creating information systems from the info perspective. Information is a wonderful lens with which to view the entirety of what goes on in an information system. That's why I want to look at information systems from the info out. I don't mean that seeing information systems from other perspectives (for example as technological or social systems) is not interesting or important. But in this series, I "stand" on the information and look at all other aspects of the system from that point of view.Information systems pervade every walk of life. From entertainment to education, corner groceries to corporations, information is served to us by systems. Creators of these information systems always pay attention to technology. In more modern systems, creators also pay attention to people, the users and the organizations, behind their systems.Strangely, however, few creators focus on the information behind their systems. Why? Clearly, it is not that creators do not consider information important. This is the information age after all. Information is called the "lifeblood" of our organizations, our most strategic asset. Information is power, and the systems are even named "information" systems.Information is overlooked, not because creators don't care, but because they do not know how to take information seriously. They can only see it as simple data. There are legions of professionals who know very well how to take technology seriously. There is a growing and powerful group of professionals who know how to take people seriously. But where are our professionals who know how to take information seriously? Who assures the system is designed and delivered based on the best information principles available?I want to help people take information seriously. I want to help build a strong information profession with robust principles and practices. But most of all, I want to give you the permission and tools you need to make systems from the info out.
