*MCC: What are the drivers behind corporate information governance (IG)
initiatives*?

*Lawson:* Risk is a big component along a number of lines. One pertains to
unwanted data, meaning information that lives inside of the enterprise but
adds no business value. This information presents risk when a company is
required to access it downstream or provide it to others. There are
additional risks in inadvertently purging data that may be subject to
regulatory retention or litigation hold requirements. The key is to ensure
that everyone is aware of its existence and the need to retain it.
Additional risk lies in not realizing the value of data, meaning
information that could be highly valuable to the enterprise or to its
clients. There are also the more obvious financial risks, which include the
cost of storage, data access and downstream analysis.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
