"EDRM introduced the Information Governance Reference Model (IGRM) to help promote collaboration among the various stakeholders -- business users, IT departments and legal, risk and regulatory departments, all of whom have interests and obligations in effective information governance," said George Socha, co-founder of EDRM. "As the industry continues to mature, professional education that integrates the principles of effective information governance with the legal and risk management interests in e-discovery and regulatory compliance is more important than ever. The courses offered by the Institute for IG provide EDRM members a valuable opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills in the areas of IG and ERM."
