Organizations, large and small, are spending too much to maintain information that is of little value and often are not leveraging and protecting that which can grow the business. If you know, and can connect, the value as well as the risk associated with specific information, you can free resources for growth by identifying and dispositioning data in accordance with its value (or lack thereof) and the obligations that apply. Information Governance is understanding what you have, where you have it, why you need it, and what your obligations are for that data, and then executing on that knowledge and disposing or retaining accordingly.
