Making the Case for Information Governance

10 Reasons Why IG Makes Sense

Written by Barclay T. Blair, award-winning author, consultant, and head of FCS IG

The Economist Intelligence Unit, in a recent study on information governance, found that the single biggest worldwide challenge to successful adoption of information governance is the difficulty of identifying its benefits and costs. In other words, the difficulty of making the case for IG.

This eBook, in a small way, is designed to help readers with this big problem. There is no magic formula, no perfect argument for information governance. But, there are many reasons why IG made sense today, and will make sense well into the future.

Making the Case for Information Governance is a ground-breaking eBook that lays out the case for information governance. The eBook is designed to help lawyers, IT professionals, records managers, and executives understand and communicate the value of information governance.

The Origin of FCS IG

FCS IG is a division of Forensics Consulting Solutions, LLC (FCS), a leading e-discovery consulting company with a global reach. In the course of providing e-discovery services, FCS witnesses the pain and cost of information mismanagement on a daily basis. We founded FCS IG to help our clients take control of their information environment before litigation or regulatory investigations begin.

The FCS Professional Services Group focuses on helping clients mange their information after litigation or an investigation has already commenced.

FCS IG helps clients before a lawsuit or investigation begins. We focus on helping the client manage their information better so when a lawsuit or investigation does begin, the client is better prepared to find and prepare the evidence that is required, thereby reducing the cost and pain of e-discovery.

However, our services also help clients outside of the e-discovery context by making information easier for employees to find and use it; getting rid of unnecessary information (thus reducing costs); and complying with federal and state laws and regulations.
