ational, 5th August 2025: As global enterprises accelerate digital transformation, the role of effective Information Lifecycle Governance (ILG) has become mission critical. Writer Information (WI), one of India’s leading digital transformation partners, and an integral arm of Writer Business Services, shares key emerging practices that can shape how businesses govern, secure, and derive value from their information assets.
With evolving compliance mandates, hybrid work models, and rising data volumes, organisations are rethinking how they manage information from creation to disposal. Writer Information outlines five best practices that companies must take note of in 2025:
AI-led classification and metadata tagging: Companies are keen to explore smart automation for document classification, using AI to apply metadata and governance rules at scale. This can enable real-time visibility, access control, and compliance tracking across physical and digital formats.
Fragmented governance models: Rather than centralised systems, fragmented governance structures can help to distribute ownership while maintaining policy consistency. This supports agility without compromising oversight.
Privacy-by-Design frameworks: With heightened scrutiny on data privacy, businesses can embed privacy protocols into every layer of information governance, from secure access to consent-based sharing and redaction workflows.
Integrated physical-digital controls: Organisations can bridge gaps between physical records and digital repositories through unified access policies, digitisation workflows, and audit trails to ensure end-to-end lifecycle coverage.
Cloud-native governance platforms: As hybrid cloud adoption grows, businesses can look at consolidating governance across platforms, ensuring consistent retention, disposal, and compliance mechanisms regardless of where the data resides.
“Information governance has moved beyond being a backend compliance function and is now viewed as a strategic capability that directly impacts resilience, trust, and competitiveness,” said Satyamohan Yanambaka, CEO, Writer Information. “As custodians of critical enterprise data, we encourage organisations to embrace integrated, smart, and privacy-conscious approaches to manage the information lifecycle.”
Writer Information continues to be a co-pilot to large enterprises across regulated sectors to modernise their information ecosystems, balancing physical and digital along with operational and regulatory needs. As the landscape evolves, these emerging practices are poised to define the new standard for responsible information management.
