Group Overview

EMC's Information Intelligence Group (IIG) is headquartered in Pleasanton, CA, and provides software and services that solve complex information challenges, enabling organizations to make insightful decisions and intelligently transform information into business value. Products and solutions in this group include enterprise content management, enterprise capture, customer communications, case management and information governance to help organizations transform their businesses with software and solutions that connect information to work.

Four key trends – Social, Mobile, Big Data and Cloud – are transforming businesses, and the way people work across the globe.

The challenge that lies ahead is taking IIG’s rich portfolio of intellectual property, in collaboration with the technologies from the broader IIG Federation – Pivotal, VMWare and RSA – to build the next generation of SaaS solutions for connecting information to work in the public cloud.
