S2-IMS™

The S2 Intelligent Management System is integrated by design, intelligent by capability and governed by S2’s enterprise governance model. It governs every S2 product and decision.

S2-IMS™ is how S2 governs itself: the structure, principles and evidence behind the S2 Co-System™. It is not a customer-facing product.

The principle behind S2-IMS™

Accountability cannot be delegated.
