Quantifying an information asset's potential or probable or actual value provides us useful indicators to prove or justify ways to improve how we manage and monetize it.

The ability to describe data quality, security, availability, or value generation needs and challenges in numerical values offers way for IT, business people, CFOs, information professionals, and even regulators and business partners to communicate more effectively about information.
