I'll be taking a bit of vacation over the next two weeks, so I thought I would take the opportunity of highlighting a few books on my Summer reading list.

1. Knowing Why You Need It. Before going about any initiative or technology implementation, it’s essential to know why you’re doing it. What are the business goals? Who should be the stakeholders involved? Information Governance ultimately means being able to transform unmanaged information into valuable business assets. And it provides enterprise readiness. Readiness means proactively servicing the legal and compliance policies in today’s business, and it requires continuous visibility, trust, and control across all of your digital information. With the combination of new government mandates, increased corporate accountability, and the digital information explosion, it is a necessity to have a holistic view of all information.
