Nearly two decades ago, Mr. Laney originated the field of Infonomics, developing methods to quantify information's economic value and apply asset management practices to information assets. He authored the book "Infonomics: Monetizing, Managing and Measuring Information as a Competitive Advantage," and lectures at leading business schools on the topic. In addition to his dozens of Gartner research publications and blogs, Mr. Laney is a contributing author with Forbes and Information Management Magazine, and has been published in the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times.

Mr. Laney specializes in and assists organizations with data monetization and valuation, open and syndicated data, data governance, and big-data based innovation.
