Information Management Certificate
Even though many organizations have an Information Technology (IT) staff to assist the fleet management, there is significant value for fleet specialists and fleet managers to understand the basic IT issues. With a general knowledge of IT, fleet managers can intelligently interact with their support staff to solve problems and enhance IT functionality. The purpose of this discipline is to provide fleet managers with the tools they need to function in a data-rich, information-poor work environment by better using the technology tools available.
Fleet Information Management Systems: This competency describes the technical components of a fleet information management system. Fleet professionals need a basic understanding of these technical components to be able to explain their needs to the IT staff.
Fleet System Selection and Implementation: Fleet professionals will develop an understanding of how to contribute to a needs analysis and eventually select the system that is right for their organization.
Telematics: There are a vast array of options available to increase the efficiency of fleets. Fleet professionals should develop the ability to analyze the costs and benefits of various systems and understand the legal ramifications of the use of certain technologies.
Data Management and System Administration: To be useful, data needs to be recorded in such a way that it can be accessed to generate useful information. Using technology rather than manual entry, assists in this endeavor as does the implementation of NAFA’s vehicle class code system.
Reporting and Data Analysis: Ultimately, the purpose of an information management system is to generate reports that contain the information the management needs to make decisions about fleet utilization, replacement, fueling and maintenance.
The Information Management Professional Certificate is an on-demand self-study program that fleet industry professionals can access anywhere and everywhere.
