Literature review: challenges that are likely to affect IT industry includes data integrity issues, information management issues, E-discovery, storage management, data security

Introduction

The growth of information technology is taking IT industry to a new level and this means that the industry is likely to face new challenges in information governance in different areas such as polices, processes, control and procedures. This article outline the information governance challenges faced by companies that deal in cloud computing such as Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, Google Cloud, Alibaba, Amazon Web Services, and Oracle Cloud.

Literature reviews

Information management is one of the primary challenges facing IT industry today and this requires the company to have an effective way to retrieve data, enhance security and ensure proper maintenance of both electronic and hardcopy information (Brown & Toze, 2017). The most challenging factor in information management for global companies include accounting for every country data retention laws, big data storage issues and complications associated with data formatting. The company is also likely to have e-discovery challenges since a significant part of the data is stored in hard copies while the rest is stored in electronically (Datta, Valavala & Sharif, 2019). This diverse nature may creature difficulties in locating particular data when requested. For example, if the company gets lawsuit it may be very difficult to identify whether the required data is stored electronically or in hard copies. Moreover, if the is poor management of the data the issues becomes more severe and in may be the reason why the company is facing duplication and data integrity issues. The best way an organization can solve this issue include implementing information governance software that automatically store, analyze and evaluate organization data (Datta, Valavala & Sharif, 2019). But since the company in the case has both electronic and hard copy data this may not be effective for overcoming information governance challenges. According to Datta, Valavala & Sharif, (2019), regulation compliance is a challenging factor that affects organization operation on a global scale. Since the company does not have any policy or strategy to ensure it meets regulatory requirement it is likely to trigger multiple legal proceeding and fines due to failure to compliances. The company will have to comply with multiple government regulation to ensure safety for sensitive data such as intellectual property and personal credential information. This would require the company to account for policies provided by governing bodies such as HIPAA, FINRA and SOX.

For the company to overcome these issues in is crucial to implement solutions such as information management automation which means the company should change all of its hard copied data into electronic data. Additionally, the company should ensure regular updates, implement security software as well as implement effective information governance programs.

In conclusion, the challenges that can face an IT industry includes security and compliance, information integrity, regulations and performance management. Using effective information management strategy and cloud computing approach the organization can develop solution that can help to overcome this challenges.
