Information Nation: Seven Keys to Information Management Compliance

Information Management has entered a new era.

An era shaped by headline-grabbing business failures and scandals where information destruction and mismanagement have played a starring role. Defined by tough new laws and regulations that threaten to send executives to jail for information mismanagement, this new era features organizations that are struggling to control and leverage an ever-expanding body of business information, while reducing the bottom line.

How can organizations respond to this new era in a manner that will promote and protect their business and legal needs? How does the mantra of corporate accountability and transparency translate to the real world of tight budgets, fast-paced technological change, and a constantly-shifting legal and business landscape?

The authors introduce Information Management Compliance (IMC), a new concept that brings the tools and principles of the compliance world to bear on Information Management. Information Nation is packed with practical insight and real-world examples that any organization can use to evaluate, design, or improve its current Information Management practices.
