INSIGHT PAPER: Balancing collaboration with information governance - the digital government conundrum

Collaboration is critical to driving innovation and efficiencies for modern government agencies.

The way information is created, evaluated, captured, protected, consumed and distributed is key to effective digital government. It is therefore essential to provide a work environment that offers an easy way for users to communicate and collaborate.
