**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**
Information governance depends on technology to organize and analyze information, manage the information lifecycle, retrieve information needed for a given purpose, and address risk management, compliance, and security requirements related to information. Information governance is the framework an organization follows for managing, storing, archiving, and deleting information. This book surveys nine technologies that support information governance initiatives: Electronic Content Management (ECM), Records Management Application (RMA) software, digital preservation application, email archiving systems, Digital Asset Management (DAM), web and social media archiving applications, e-discovery software, GRC software, and database archiving software. Some of these technologies are broadly applicable and widely implemented; others support specialized business operations.
