An article by Allison Walton posted on the clearwellsystems.com website e-Discovery 2.0
The article discusses a survey taken at the recent EDGE summit which was held in April. The survey posed specific questions about information governance.
The article states, "The main purpose of the EDGE survey was to gather attendees’ thoughts on what information governance means for their agencies, discern what actions were being taken to address Big Data challenges, and assess how far along agencies were in their information governance implementations pursuant to the recent Presidential Mandate.
As my colleague Matt Nelson’s blog recounts from the LegalTech conference earlier this year, information governance and predictive coding were among the hottest topics at the LTNY 2012 show and in the industry generally. The EDGE Summit correspondingly held sessions on those two topics, as well as delved deeper into questions that are unique to the government."
The article discusses Freedom of Information Act requests, as well as litigation and investigations, as factors that are causing government agencies to seek out new technologies.
The article further states, "Fortunately, any comprehensive information governance plan will axiomatically address FOIA requests since the technology implemented to accomplish information governance inherently allows for the storage, identification, collection, review and production of data regardless of the specific purpose. The use of information governance technology will not have the same workflow or process for FOIA that an internal investigation would require, for example, but the tools required are the same."
