Information Governance Maturity Model

With the advent of big data and the ability to correlate and discover new value, information may render current retention practices obsolete. Information is now becoming a more distinct asset and can no longer be thought of as an object without significant business value.

In the future, applying retention to information may become more about uncovering and measuring business value than of just following legal mandates.
