The volume of information is growing faster than ever.  Every day, 15 petabytes of information is created and 80 percent of this data is unstructured.  Further, this data is entirely unmanaged”--“content in the wild” – spread across organizations on just about every platform imaginable:  email servers, collaboration servers, file servers, desktop machines, laptops, CRM systems and ERP systems, among many, many others.

A majority of that unstructured content can be deemed unnecessary – over-retained, irrelevant, or duplicate – creating huge business risks and costs down the road.  An average company with 1,000 employees spends $5.3 million a year to find information stored on its servers.  Forty-two percent of managers say they use the wrong information at least once per week. Responding to eDiscovery requests in a timely fashion is becoming a corporate burden.

Further, 70 percent of managers report that regulations mandating retention of information are driving up their storage demands.  Businesses realize they must retain information that is valuable to their organizations. But the “keep everything approach” doesn’t work. They must classify, manage and keep valued information and decommison the rest.  Simply throwing more storage at the problem increases costs, increases risk, makes e-discovery more difficult, and complicates the process of finding and leveraging information in a timely manner.

Join Michael Osterman of Osterman Research and Aaron Brown, Program Director, ECM Discovery from IBM on December 9, 2009 at 1:00pm EST, 10:00am PST, 1800 UK Time, for a Webinar focused specifically on these issues, Gain Control - Know, Manage, Leverage Content for Better Business Outcomes - Empowered by Analytics.

You will hear the latest trends, best practices and solutions to confidently access, explore, assess, and identify the value of your content and its systems to know what they have in order to retain and manage only what you need, and to decommission or delete the rest. You will also hear about IBM’s new Content Assessment offering that will help you to identify unnecessary information in order to decommission content, retire legacy content-based systems or dynamically collect information for on-demand eDiscovery requests.
