Personal Information Management (PIM) as an organizational component for groups is fast becoming a critical initiative for many organizations and groups. A lot of personal data today deals with information that is of significant use and value to your organization, but is never shared with the rest of the peers because it remains in personal information silos like email, document files in personal folders, etc. Enabling fast disbursement of previously "personal" information can quickly make it the DNA of your organization and your organization’s value chain, because in an established business process it helps your organization to better collaborate internally.
