We implement strategies to better manage your information.
Getting it right
Governance: rules that control how an organization’s information is maintained, protected and processed in order to maximize its usefulness while minimizing risks to the enterprise. Governance supports regulatory, legal, risk, and operational requirements.
- Governance includes records and information management as well as incorporating eDiscovery, and data security for “a single instance of truth”.
- Governance must be applied uniformly across an organization, and to all media formats.
Kaizen can help you attain compliance and reduce economic risk associated with information growth by:
- Designing processes and identifying systems to help stem the uncontrolled proliferation of duplicate information.
- Creating mechanisms to help control information lingering unknown in email accounts and silos of shared drives.
- Assisting you with identifying emails that should be declared business record, and archive them for compliance.
Successful organizations implement systems and controls to govern information. They share a single instance of information and eliminate multiple copies of the same information.
