Help your employees, suppliers, and customers find the information they need when they need it, with the assurance that it is current and complete. Eliminate gaps, redundancies, and inconsistencies among islands of information, and flow information along business processes. Present content that is designed to facilitate user understanding, regardless of the medium--verbal or visual, print or online.
If you're ready to employ a systematic approach to maximizing your information assets, Papyrus Information Architects (PIA)--a small, woman-owned business in Los Angeles--is positioned to help. Contact PIA today.
“Information is data endowed with relevance and purpose.”--Peter Drucker, Economist
"Architecture: The art or science of building [...] a unifying or coherent form or structure.”--Webster’s Dictionary
"An Information Architect is “1) the individual who organizes the patterns inherent in data, making the complex clear; 2) a person who creates the structure or map of information which allows others to find their personal paths to knowledge.”--Richard Saul Wurman, Information Designer
"But Information Architecture goes beyond simply structuring of data and uncovering the patterns and relationships in content. Architects also need to present these structures, patterns, and relationships. Bear in mind that by 'presentation' I’m not talking about the realm of style, but about how items are emphasized, hierarchical associations, and how the eye draws across the page, etc. These are all basic graphic art and design principles, but with the distinction of being specifically applied to the purpose of presenting information."--Jeffrey Veen, Information Designer
