The program includes set up and access to InfoGov, the company’s premiere information governance software solution, professional services, and use of the MetaGovernance Framework to complete the project. Project is scoped based on one or more pre-defined subject areas.
InfoGov will be used for free for the length of the engagement and for a period of 3 months after the engagement. After three months the client will be charged for InfoGov or all metadata will be provided to the client in electronic format.
Reconciliation Controls QuickStart Program
After the successful implementation of a QuickStart Program or customized approach, the client has all the information they will need to set up reconciliation controls that provides evidence of data accuracy. Our InfoCheckTM software works with InfoGov to leverage the governance architecture metadata to establish a set of reconciliation controls. The controls compare data objects at the data base, application, or reporting layer without the need for programming. A fixed price is established based on the data types and number of controls to be implemented.

Some examples that we have worked through with clients include:
Governance Architecture Definition
This program will focus on a particular subject area domain from the MetaGovernance governance architecture perspective where the scope can not be clearly defined up-front or the scope is large enough that a QuickStart program is not a good fit.
Leveraging MetaGovernance’s InfoGov software, the engagement focuses on defining the current state information governance architecture of the organization within the particular subject area domain where issues have been identified.
This analysis will give the client a true and detailed picture of their current state and open the opportunities for effective remediation.
