Explanation:
Dieses hier skizzierte pragmatische Informationsverständnis ist zugegebenermaßen rigoros und
spiegelt auch nicht unbedingt den Sprachgebrauch selbst in der engeren Disziplin (noch nicht einmal
durchgehend in diesem Handbuch) wider. So wird (unbekümmert) von Informationssystem(en),
Informationsangebot(en) oder von Informationstechnik, Hintergrundinformation(en) gesprochen,
obgleich aus der nutzerorientierten pragmatischen Sicht eigentlich nur Daten gemeint sind. Sie
können aber in der Nutzung zu Information werden. Man wird das dadurch retten können, dass
z. B. Informationssysteme sozusagen virtuelle Information enthalten, dass die Informationstechnik
uns erlaubt, Informationen zu erarbeiten. Wir werden den Sprachgebrauch nicht ändern, die
Welt nicht davon überzeugen können, besser von der Datengesellschaft oder von Inhaltsgesellschaft
(eher noch von Wissensgesellschaft; vgl. A 1.2.1 in KSS-5) zu sprechen, aber die engere Fachwelt
sollte durchaus reflektieren, was sie jeweils mit Information meint.

neutral  philgoddard: This seems a strong possibility, but I waiting for the asker to tell us whether it's a media company.
6 hrs
  -> Sure, but I do not think it is a "subsidiary"
neutral  Björn Vrooman: "Gesellschaft" has more than one meaning in German. In the first link you quote, it is about "society" in general. Like Rosseau's "Gesellschaftsvertrag" or social contract in English. It is indeed just a subsidiary; see disc.
