MER 2010: Sessions Details

The volume, variety and velocity at which information is growing constrain a company’s ability to be flexible, operationally efficient, and strategically forward-thinking. Most unstructured content either is trapped in silos and bloated production systems across the organization, or is entirely unmanaged “content in the wild.” A majority of that unstructured content can be deemed unnecessary, over-retained, irrelevant, or duplicate and should be either decommissioned or disposed of. All of this inhibits or can even prevent proper records management …

Knowing what they have is the start to then retain and manage only what they need and decommission or dispose of the rest.

The objective of this session is to provide attendees with an overview of new dynamic analysis technologies that to aggregate, correlate visualize and explore unstructured content and records. Content Assessment is the first critical step to alleviate the pain of the information explosion by evaluating whether it’s necessary or unnecessary to the business and enable informed decisions about business value, relevance, and disposition.

Using Content Assessment enables companies to:

• Safely decommission unneeded systems while preserving access to the required content and records
• Determine which content to manage, archive, trust and leverage
• Collect valued or high-risk content from key sources for early case assessment, audits or investigations based on a unified and common practice across multiple content sources
