Archiving Everything is Not Information Governance Sanity

November 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The amount of information building in organizations today forces us to put in place smart information governance policies. Simply archiving everything is not a feasible or an intelligent plan.

One of the biggest information governance drivers today is eDiscovery. With eDiscovery pressures management now has the ability to create a solid business case for refining information governance practices: reducing the volume of records flowing into eDiscovery systems translates into real cost savings.

But creating an information governance plan is no easy task. Consider for starters that most of the involved groups don’t typically talk to one another.

Enterprise CMS and Information Management firm Open Text, along with Forrester Research Senior Analyst Brian Hill, is holding a mock eDiscovery meeting on November 16th at 2pm Eastern time. The event will bring together key players from IT, legal, Records & Information Management and the executive team to hash through strategies for meeting requirements while reducing current pains.

Lexology – E-discovery & information governance – do you know where your email is?

September 6, 2010 By Leave a Comment

If you have ever been involved in litigation, you know that the process of finding, collecting, reviewing and producing the evidence that supports your case is often difficult, lengthy and expensive. As we have transitioned from a primarily paper to an electronic world, the costs of discovery can sometimes threaten to overwhelm all but the largest disputes. One way to minimize these costs is by properly governing your information.

Effective information governance means establishing enterprise-wide policies and procedures for the creation, use and retention of information. If implementing a thorough information governance plan seems daunting, a good first step is to start with your email, specifically, where your email is located. (Governing how to use email effectively and how to decrease the volume of email being saved will be addressed in future articles.) Waiting until you are in the middle of a lawsuit to ferret out the hidden caches where your employees are saving and storing email is often a contributing factor to increased litigation costs.
