Technology has allowed organizations to capture, store, communicate and interact with data faster and in greater volumes than ever before in human history, but the stats on the subject are concerning as over 90% of corporate data amassed today has only been created in the last 2 years. The dark underbelly of this content explosion is the negative business impacts that include:
1. Reduced productivity
2. Reduced profitability
3. Exploding database and data storage costs
4. Sluggish systems, slow reporting and reduced organizational effectiveness.
