Gabrielle Ingram | Manager Information Management, Griffith University
Evergreen is the new black: Information governance in the 0ffice 365 ecosystem
Griffith University established a strategic partnership with Microsoft in 2017 - the first of its kind for an Australian university. In 2018, they migrated over 5,000 staff and 60,000 student accounts into a single tenancy. Embedding information governance into O365 represented an unprecedented opportunity to better manage large volumes of previously unmanaged unstructured corporate information in place. Of course, it came with the challenge of doing so in an evergreen environment, where the goalposts are frequently changing around the product offering, but also where Microsoft is heavily investing in information management and information security tools. It is now driving an organisational evolution in the speed and approach to ICT changes and decision making.
This presentation will share the lessons learned and practical approach Griffith took through the implementation phase, with the lens on the information governance challenges cohabiting has brought. It will highlight the importance of proactively addressing governance expectations up front, ‘relaxing’ traditional thinking about managing corporate information, determining the best ways to foster collaboration without impacting on privacy and security, and addressing the challenges of an evergreen cloud-based enterprise suite which is focussed on placing the tools in the hands of the users.
Bio: Gabrielle has worked in Records and Information Management at Griffith University since 2004. She has been responsible for the replacement of the University's records management system and review of business processes related to the University's compliance with the Public Records Act. More recently, with the rising profile of Information Management in the University, she has been involved in the development of the University's Information Security Classification Framework, the implementation of an Information Asset Register, and the pilot and subsequent introduction of digital signature capability. She is currently working on other fun “O365 stuff” life Azure Information Protection content analytics in preparation for shared drive migrations.
She is a passionate believer that the implementation of information governance initiatives should not only relieve the burden on the end user, but also enable and leverage value creation for the organisation.
