AIIM's View On Information Governance
And Establishing a Solid Foundation for eDiscovery,
Records Management, and More...
— AIIM
In many organizations enterprise
content management (ECM) is fragmented, deployed in silos, and tied to
functional areas and/or specific business applications. ECM fragmentation is
further exacerbated by the positioning of ECM component technologies and
solutions such as records management, eDiscovery, compliance and search as
individual technologies, as opposed to an integrated enterprise platform.
Practices such as Knowledge Management and BPM also draw lines of demarcation
and create silos in the enterprise. While each technology and practice arguably
warrants its own strategy, each is better served and positioned by an underlying
infrastructure. This best practice is Information Governance.
