An article by Evan Koblentz posted on law.com on the LTN webpage.
This article discusses developments from the Legal Information Technology Conference held in Washington D.C. this past weekend, and coincided with the ARMA conference which runs through tomorrow.
As the article states, "Speakers at LitCon'11, in parallel with the ARMA International Conference & Expo, focused on topics as wide as information governance and as narrow as predictive email filtering. ARMA, whose conference continues through Wednesday, was formerly known as the Association of Records Managers and Administrators."
As the article states, ""Information governance is not a dressed-up version of records management. Records management is an integral part of information governance, as is knowledge management," he (Bryn Bowen, Director of Information Management for Greenberg Traurig) said. "All of this electronically stored information is now fair game. All of the traditional views that only the records are accessible, that's bye-bye.""
The article additional states, "Bowen added his advice for firms that want to embark on information governance strategies: Access the places your firm needs to be, pick from menus of options based on risk tolerance, engage stakeholders, transition staff to new information governance roles, define measures of success, report on those, and adjust approaches as needed. A sign of success, he joked, is when records managers start noticing less demand for boxes shipped to storage."
The article provides comments from personnel from other large law firms as well, and also warns against simply relying on technology to dump and hide information. In addition, the article also states that paper records still play a role in the equation, "paper records -- which currently number 4 trillion in the United States and increase 22 percent annually."
