Information Governance

When implementing an Information Governance program, many organizations begin with email management. They recognize that email is the riskiest form of business information in the enterprise and the area that is most heavily scrutinized during eDiscovery. It’s also a good part of a user’s day-to-day work.

Typically after getting email under control, organizations turn to file servers, Microsoft^® SharePoint^® sites and content, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)-related information, and other applications and repositories for business information.

The real benefit of tackling the various areas that sound Information Governance demands lies in the business value the program generates alongside the adherence with regulations, standards, and policies. While compliance gets the most attention when discussing the subject, Information Governance isn’t just about following rules or proving that you’ve done so. Regulations inherently describe optimal business operations and by practicing "active compliance", organizations can ensure that they adhere to industry-established best practices and procedures.
