AIIM recently collaborated with Cohasset Associates and ARMA in the eighth biennial survey on the evolution of Information Governance (over 1,300 participants). Over a series of articles, I'm covering the major highlights -- and the implications for organizations as they continue to address the tension between Information Opportunity and Information Chaos. 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. The danger of this approach is that routine disposal can come to a screeching halt. This shutdown results in increased costs of storage, inefficiency, and litigation complexities.

Over a series of blog posts, I'll cover the major highlights -- and the implications for organizations as they continue to address the tension between Information Opportunity and Information Chaos. Overall, the survey finds that Information Governance programs are more prevalent, better designed, and inclusive of digital information (usually referred to in legal circles as Electronically Stored Information, or ESI). However, many essential implementation elements are not being addressed. Defensible records and information management practices are founded on clear and consistent policies, retention rules, and training that result in systematic, repeatable, and measurable implementation outcomes. Modern Information Governance (IG) programs have adjusted their approach to address the realities of managing large volumes of electronically stored information (ESI).

The electronic records management (ERM) technology landscape continues to evolve as the deluge of records and information makes dealing with records in a "status quo" approach impossible -- if not downright dangerous. Yet, it is still important to distinguish between the hype cycle of new capabilities and the reality of what technologies are really ready for prime time. In this video, noted ERM Expert (and recent Jeopardy winner) Priscilla Emery walks through the opportunities and pitfalls in The ERM Technology and Market Landscape: Getting Past the Hype to Reality.
