A common problem for many organisations is the accumulation of digital
records and information in systems which become obsolete. These
systems either rely on legacy technology, or are related to non-current
business processes. However many of these systems contain high value
information, and their poor management can become a significant risk for
organisations.

Decommissioning is a process by which a system is removed from use in an
organisation. Decommissioning requires analysis of the data in the system,
identifying the data, metadata and system documentation that must be
brought forward and retained, and an accountable process for deletion of
residual data in the system.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
