  • Information Governance Percolating In Companies

    I had the opportunity to attend eDJ’s Peer Group meetings last week, where the topic of discussion was information governance (IG). The Peer Group meetings are fascinating because real IG practitioners speak up about very real issues. I was struck by how daunting the challenge of truly governing information is. As electronic data grows exponentially, managing the risk that information poses is harder and harder. For every effort a company takes to safeguard information, employees create a workaround if that effort impinges on the velocity of information. In turn, those workarounds lead to a vicious circle of eDiscovery nightmares.

    There are some that believe social media is replacing email. In reality, it will take time for social media adoption to occur and for everyone to abandon email – lots of time perhaps. As companies transition and begin to leverage social media, there is the opportunity to avoid the mistakes made in the email generation. One thing is clear: companies that dive into social media without the right policies and solutions to govern usage will encounter information governance and eDiscovery nightmares down the road.

  • Download Your Facebook Info for eDiscovery or Curiosity

    The other day I happened to be poking around Facebook to see if I could modify some setting.  I had not been to the Admin section of my Facebook account for some time and it was eye opening to see the different ways to involve Facebook into more aspects of my life.  Pretty soon I’ll be watching my own life like a movie on Facebook, but enough of the philosophical waxings for one day and back to the techie stuff. As I was moving onward from the account settings, I happened to see the words “Download a copy of your Facebook data” on the screen and immediately clicked back.  I thought this might be interesting, so naturally I clicked the button to see what I would get back after being a Facebook user for close to five years (I remember [...]
