This information governance plan addresses the challenges of managing legacy content, daily operational information, and big data. It establishes roles, responsibilities, and rules for proper information management, and establishes an Information Governance Board (IGB) to oversee strategic asset management. Critical governance issues, flexible end-user experience, records management, metadata requirements, access and discoverability, information protection, and sustainability are addressed.

Sustainability # 7 Key to Success: Maintaining the Eco-System Information Governance is a process, not an end-state. As people change, and processes and technology improve, InfoGov must be revised. Monitoring compliance, altering and enforcing policy when needed, and applying metrics to determine where improvements should be made, requires agency resources and a long term commitment.
