Information Governance

Innovation is allowing businesses to leverage information is different and groundbreaking ways. However, new consumer expectations, requirements to partner with others, increased regulation, and the ongoing changes in technology require disciplined approaches to managing the value and risks associated with information and how it is used.

Forward-thinking business owners and managers recognize that information, like its buildings, people, and finances, is a mission-critical asset. Just like other assets, information requires oversight, stewardship and governance to assure that it is being used effectively and responsibly.

Byrne Law recognizes that a good information governance program encompasses more than traditional records management. It should be more holistic, incorporating business operations, finance, IT management and resources, business intelligence and analytics, data security, electronic discovery, privacy, regulatory compliance, knowledge management, and overall risk management.

We work with clients to understand the organization’s mission, goals, resources, strengths, and challenges. By asking the right questions, we can help you better identify pain points that can be remedied and business opportunities to enhance revenues or reduce costs that can unlocked through effective information government policies. This can lead to many competitive advantages, including enhanced data analytics capabilities, reduced costs associated with storing, managing and finding information, better ROI on institutional knowledge built over time, more efficient integration of information and its management in mergers and acquisitions, data loss presentation, and better management of legal and compliance costs and risks.
