November Issue
Infinite retention results in infinite waste.
Information is the lifeblood of any organization. However, too much
information can create information overload that can increase storage costs,
expand backup windows, complicate e-Discovery and increase litigation risks.
Organizations recognize the value of an information management plan yet one
in eight companies archive their files indefinitely instead of implementing
policies that allow them to confidently delete unimportant data or records.
The result is that organizations spend far more time and money on the
negative consequences of poor information management and discovery practices
than they would by working to change them.
These, and other observations, are part of a global study of enterprise data
retention practices featured in a special section of this month's
newsletter.
