Information Governance Consulting

Our consultants help organizations break down silos and establish long-term, sustainable programs. With expert help, you will find it easier to decrease cost, drive compliance and make business decisions based on clean, reliable data.

An organization’s success on ensuring its critical data is:

• Secured and protected

• Digitized and automated

• Thoughtfully managed

• Compliant

• Part of a lifecycle

• Authentic and reliable

• Shared

We consult on individual focus areas. Then, depending on your organization’s specific needs, our consultants can assist on building out a long-term program or focus on immediate challenges. Focus areas include:

Records & Information Management

Establish and improve your organization’s records and information management (RIM) program – build an internal coordinator network, draft or revise policies and procedures, and get assistance in operationalizing your record retention schedules.

Electronic Content Governance

Electronic Content Management (ECM) systems help in organizing content in a centralized manner throughout the enterprise. We can help with defining the strategy, planning, and gathering the requirements, implementation, and governance of these systems in accordance with your IG/RIM Program.

Operational Awareness & Education   

One of the most important aspects of a RIM/IG Program is making sure employees know what is expected of them. Through branding awareness, education, and training, we help employees extract more value from the information they work with and help prevent the risks (legal, financial, reputational) associated with it.

As information gets collected over time, it becomes more difficult for organizations to segregate information that has value from the information that is severely diminished in value. Using file analysis concept, both functionally and technically, we help organizations address Redundant, Obsolete, and Trivial (ROT) information within their storage, increasing efficiency while reducing associated risk.

As your information governance partner, you will work with a tenured group of experienced industry practitioners who have real-world subject matter expertise with specialties such as oil and gas, manufacturing, pharma and healthcare, financial services, and more. Each consultant brings decades of experience and expertise into the design and implementation of any IG program. Our experts can also augment your team, freeing them to focus on critical line of business activities.

Our approach provides clients with a roadmap to proactively manage their information as an asset and extract maximum value from it while avoiding the associated risks.

• It begins with a maturity assessment.

• Then, we'll create a roadmap based on our success framework, starting with your organization’s immediate needs as well as short and long-term goals.  

• Next, we determine if your organization has the structure or a committee in place (or if one needs to be built out for the information governance program).

• Finally, our team creates an ongoing plan to continuously audit and create Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) after the work begins, as a way of checks and balances.
