Each government agency deals with almost four petabytes -- or 4 million
gigabytes -- of data. Ninety percent of that data is unstructured. It’s
found in paper documents, email, social media posts, phone conversations,
web pages and so on -- and it’s growing. It’s estimated that 625,000 new
pages per year are produced per 100 government employees.

We refer to this rapid increase of unstructured data as “data chaos,” and
it has a major impact on records management in government agencies. When
compared to other industries like manufacturing, communications/media,
banking and healthcare, government ranks second in terms of overall
industry data volume and fourth in terms of amount of data per
organization, according to 2016 estimates from the McKinsey Global
Institute.
