The capture, digitization, representation, organization, transformation, and presentation of information are the primary focuses of information management (IM). A computer's auxiliary disk storage devices store data permanently because the main memory only provides temporary storage. The capacity of these devices is significantly greater than that of main memory, but their read/write (access) speed is slower. Before it can be processed, data on a disk must be read into main memory. A significant objective of IM frameworks, thusly, is to foster proficient calculations to store and recover explicit information for handling. Databases and algorithms for efficiently storing, retrieving, updating, and deleting particular database items make up IM systems. A collection of files that are stored indefinitely on a disk storage device constitute the fundamental structure of a database. The data items or fields in each file can be further broken down into a series of records.
