The IRS E-mail Scandal, or How the Dog Ate My Homework – Information Governance

Survey: Over-Preservation Threatens Effective Information Governance

AIIM recently collaborated with Cohasset Associates and ARMA in the eighth biennial survey on the evolution of Information Governance (over 1,300 participants).

The survey reports: Legal Hold processes are more commonplace, but over-preservation is an immense challenge to the implementation of effective information lifecycle controls, thereby contributing to future risk and complexity. Faced with the fear of spoliation charges during litigation, the traditional risk-averse approach to preservation was to keep everything.
