In keeping with ARMA International’s mission for records management to educate, advocate and provide resources that enable professionals to manage information as a critical element of the organizational operations and governance, the Capitol Chapter has adopted the following schedule for 2010: every other month the Capitol Chapter will host an educational meeting with an expert speaker to present and discuss Records and Information Management (RIM) topics. In addition, we will host a monthly networking event so you can share and gain knowledge on topics of your choosing.

Program Synopsis

The FOG of Information Governance:  Finding the Key to the IT/RIM Nexus

Technology has empowered and overpowered general information systems, records management, legal compliance, discovery, privacy and an ever expanding array of issues; ALL addressed by an Information Governance architecture and platform.

Despite the wide availability of enterprise content management and e-discovery solutions, large organizations continue to experience significant challenges when it comes to the governance of their information assets and records.  Retention policies continue to be applied in an inconsistent manner across the organization – leading to the over-retention of records and/or premature destruction of records – both of which lead to significant risks (i.e. financial, compliance, reputation, etc.).

This conference will address the emerging primacy of Information Governance. Information Governance is a superset of Records Management. It is the centralized governance of information disposition, ALL information, based upon approved policies, procedures and methods.

1. Information Governance solves the records management problem (too much information and no easy mechanism to address compliance and disposition.)
2. Information Governance addresses the eDiscovery problem (a reduced discovery burden as information has been retained within an authenticated management context; all available with relative ease.)
3. Information Governance addresses the compliance and legal concerns (compliance and legal requirements are enforced within the information governance policy, procedures and methods.)
4. Information Governance bridges the gap between Records Management objectives and IT concerns over content management (management by policy enforcement at a Tier 2 level or below).
5. Information Governance addresses the cost of governance (efficiently managing very large records management programs.)
6. Information Governance addresses the problem of integrating the functions of managing record retention, disposition, discovery, data privacy, system overhead costs, and auditability; which are all related.

Records Knowledge, the multi-perspective understanding of both general and specific content within a records management governance context, is the result of Information Governance.
