This report is the interim research result of the open topic of the key laboratory of Data Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (Ministry of Education). It is supported by the program for New Century Excellent Talents. The lecture asks and answers four questions: Why integrated management of business, records and knowledge (IMS of BRK) are necessary and important? What are the integration methodolgies from the international best practice? How to develop integration solutions to their implementation? To whom and to where IMS for BRK are significant? Findings are from four research projects done. The paper proposes a triangle IMS methodology for collaboration, optimization, and innovation of business continunity management system (BCMS), records management system (RMS) and knowledge management system (KMS) to sustainable competitive advantages over traditional isolated systems. It provides a set of integration solutions for mapping, building and operalising an ecosystem, based on integration framework and model designed. Case studies show efficiency building significances of IMS for BRK and their implications to the new strategy, national strategy and global strategy for dynamic accumulation, sharing and exchange of evidence, memory and knowledge in digital world and global competition. The report is brevity and vivid. Professor An quotes lots of international standards to make the report sufficient in support.
