The Challenge
- Managing out of control data growth, particularly relating to unstructured data
- Many studies show that up to 80 percent of business-relevant information originates in this form and typically consists of two basic categories:
- Textual Objects such as Office documents, e-mails and spreadsheets
- Bitmap Objects inherently non-language based, such as image, video or audio files.
- Client behaviour generally results in data rarely being deleted; often just moved through manual processes.
- Compliance is also extending the required data retention times.
