Event Recap: Modernizing Information Governance
Why care about the modernization of information governance? Christopher Whitaker with Iron Mountain Government Solutions cited two powerful data points. According to the World Economic Forum, “AI-driven automation will create 97M new roles by 2025”, while by that same year, the “Internet of Things will have an estimated $11.1T economic impact (McKinsey & Company).”
“The problem we are seeing within the information governance model itself,” said James Jones of Feith Systems, “Is that these different groups are coming together, business, security, risk, legal…because of the information itself… and that information lives within information systems.” To manage these information systems, Rob Gerbrandt with Iron Mountain Government Solutions proposed that agencies ask themselves, “What the important pieces are of government when it comes down to trying to create the right conditions for success?”
During this two-hour conference, experts addressed a comprehensive range of topics related to AI and information governance, including:
- GAO’s definition of legacy systems
