Sometimes the same story can play out over and over again, albeit with slightly different twists. As a Forrester Research analyst in 2005, I co-authored a report titled “The Enterprise Content Management Dilemma: Point Solution Or Suite.” The premise was simple: a content management platform that could manage all information for all purposes (persuasive for marketing and sales, knowledge for employee use, records retention for compliance and risk) made more sense in theory than multiple applications to manage all that information.

This past Tuesday, I had a chance to participate in the eDiscoveryJournal webinar, “TAR: From 10,000 Feet To Ten Feet, Let’s Get In The Weeds.” Without any hint of hyperbole, I can honestly rank it in the top two webinars I have ever been part of. You know a webinar is good when you have a hard time getting all the way through the content and the audience fires a continuous stream of questions throughout. Not only that, but also virtually all attendees stayed until the end, which happened to be fast minutes past the end time.

Information Governance (IG) was much simpler when information existed in paper form. Important documents were classified as records and sent to a central location to be filed and stored. That central information store was the go-to source for information when litigation or regulatory requests arose. There was a certain comfort in having that central control over information. Today, however, times have changed and that comfort level has been destroyed.

Information Governance (IG) is an incredibly complex task thanks to the distributed ways in which companies create and store information. The holy grail of IG is centralized management of distributed information assets. Much like the King Arthur’s grail, this IG grail is difficult, if not impossible, to find. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) approaches have not worked and enterprise search has not proven to impact the high costs associated with such activities as eDiscovery. That doesn’t stop vendors from trying to create solutions that will get us closer to finding that holy grail, as I was reminded of during a recent vendor briefing.
