5 critical elements of effective information governance

For businesses of all kinds, the threat of some type of legal action looms larger every year. Increasingly, litigation will often require organizations to produce all manner of electronic data during eDiscovery. For organizations that are unprepared, the eDiscovery process can be expensive, time consuming and risky. Learn how implementation of an improved information governance (IG) process can provide a foundation that reduces the costs, time and risks inherent in the eDiscovery process.

Element 1: Developing a more holistic solution for eDiscovery

For many organizations, eDiscovery today comprises numerous unique and non-integrated point solutions that have been deployed on a reactionary basis. While this may provide some benefit for a specific eDiscovery case, in the longer term this approach creates a number of problems.

Using a more capable IG solution to classify and analyze your data will help to bring a more consistent, complete approach to eDiscovery. The benefits achieved not only result in lower cost, less time, and decreased risk, but also the confidence you can gain from solid, well–understood retention policies.

Element 2: Improving response to more complex, larger cases requiring eDiscovery

Nearly every organization will face a growing number of legal actions that will result in the need for eDiscovery, which means an increased amount of work to find pertinent information. In addition, there are regular changes to statutes and directives that impact eDiscovery. With a disparate set of tools that are poorly integrated, retaining and classifying correct information becomes a nightmare. Learn about the potential cost savings you can achieve by implementing a comprehensive information governance solution.
