Information Governance Percolating In Companies

An article by Barry Murphy posted on the eDiscovery Journal website.

This article discusses information governance, and looks at approaches to managing corporate records and information.

The article states, "As electronic data grows exponentially, managing the risk that information poses is harder and harder. For every effort a company takes to safeguard information, employees create a workaround if that effort impinges on the velocity of information. In turn, those workarounds lead to a vicious circle of eDiscovery nightmares.

A major issue that comes up for companies is over-preservation when conducting legal holds. Many companies are now mature enough to create aggressive retention policies to undertake defensible disposition of information. That sounds good in theory, but can be difficult to implement in practice."
