The Digital World Has Led to an Information Explosion

Privacy questions are on the rise with focus on big data, analytics, and e-discovery. What records should be kept? For how long? And where?

Records managers face increasingly complex information security policies for both digital documents and paper records. This applies to information throughout your organization stored onsite, offsite, or in the cloud.

Our information governance services can help your organization:

  • Discover what documents you have, their location, and how long to keep them
  • Increase operational efficiency through process automation
  • Enforce consistent classification, retention and disposal policies, and other information governance best practices
  • Comply with regulations and mitigate litigation, improving risk management processes

What is Information Governance?

Information Governance (IG) is everything having to do with the capture, formation, usage, storage and deletion of information. It spans paper records, electronic documents, data, and any other kind of content. In addition to records and information management (RIM), IG draws on legal, risk, and IT expertise to protect, use, and drive value across the organization.

“Information Governance is all the rules, regulations, legislation, standards and policies with which organizations need to comply when they create, share and use information.”

– Chris Walker, VP of AIIM Canada
