Abstract: An information management solution is disclosed that overcomes drawbacks associated with the ability of traditional hierarchy structures to support complex organizational structures. The information management solution uniquely implements a two-level entity associating map for depicting relationships between entities of a group of entities. A first level of the two-level entity association map has units is a one-dimensional layer comprising organizational entities and a second level of the two-level entity associating map is a multi-dimensional level comprising organizational entities to which organizational entities of the first level have a direct association. An entity type of any first-level entity is different than an entity type of any second-level entity.
