Dear Readers:
It comes as no surprise that organizations are
hiring data scientists at a fast pace as they begin
to recognize the value that data can bring to their
organization. One of the challenges for Records
Management, Information Governance and Infor-
mation Security professionals is that the data analyt-
beast needs to be fed large qualities of data
sets to derive the maximum amount of value.

Data analytics is definitely here to stay but there definitely needs to be
discipline around the use of data. Say hello to data governance, which
is performs a valuable role by bringing stakeholders together and es-
tablishing policies, standards and guidance, among other things.
The author of the featured article, Bill Stolte, has a vast amount of
knowledge about data governance and the use of data in general. Giv-
en his knowledge and experience, he was on my short list of prospec-
tive authors for writing about data.
I hope you enjoy this issue and, as always, please feel free to share
your feedback with me.
