Toronto Mayer Rob Ford is alleged to have gang involvement, since video footage was discovered of him with gang members. It is an unfortunate circumstance for the mayor to be in, but from the media’s perspective he does not appear to be particularly phased, claiming that he is going to continue to do his job and allow the courts to deal with the matter.

The recovered evidence in the form of digital video footage is an example of data well managed by Management Information Systems (MIS). It is well known that having large amounts of data is of no use if it cannot be interpreted. Without an organized MIS, the footage that is being used to prosecute Ford may never have been of any use. Continued diligence in defining the actual purpose of MIS projects is fundamental for the projects to be successful, and one day make access to information they provide easier.
