"INFORMATION GOVERNANCE: SMARTER STRATEGIES TO MAXIMIZE YOUR INFORMATION SUPPLY CHAIN"
Presented by: Peter Kohler, Guardium and Discovery Business Unit Executive, IBM Optim

In this session we will discuss best practices to master the complete lifecycle of information, establish sustainable management of information quality and security, and enable it to make information more accessible and meaningful to the business. Learn how an effective governance strategy can enable it and business to collaborate more effectively by ensuring information is aligned to business goals.
