Still no Archive Strategy?

A report from the analysts ‘The Aberdeen Group’ found that 59% of the respondents still don’t have an e-discovery or archiving strategy in place. This implies that the majority of businesses today are not in a position to meet even the most basic IT corporate governance requirements. This in turn means that they are not able to access the value residing in their historic, fixed content data.

It is clear that many organisations continue to rely on their backup infrastructure to provide data archiving capabilities, but, as I have mentioned previously, a backup is no substitute for a considered archive strategy. Organisations that strive to implement the level of archiving required in their businesses tend to take incremental steps rather than implementing a complete solution overnight. By identifying where in the process an organisation has reached, you can determine the measures they need to take to move to the next stage. The result is a more smoothly implemented archive solution.
