Description

This passionate and practical session explores how data discovery can serve as the foundation of a sustainable information governance (IG) program. Presenter Rich Hale, with both military and enterprise experience, outlines common blockers to discovery efforts, evaluates a spectrum of tools (from custom-built to enterprise-grade platforms), and shares frameworks for assigning ownership, improving metadata quality, and aligning with business needs.
