If fads exist in the information governance space, then file management must be the new Slinky™. Though file management may not be as exciting as the flexible, sprightly metal toy loved by children of decades past, it has become a catalyst for several data management projects in recent news.
Companies have thousands of directories located on both public and local drives that store millions of user generated files, like text files, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, etc. Additionally, these file shares may contain invaluable information about the company’s history and financial records (e.g. credit cards, banking information, etc.) as well as employees’ personally identifiable information (e.g. phone numbers, addresses, etc.).
In the second edition of our Dark Data webinar series, we will focus on the first steps organizations companies can take to get control of their file shares. Our webinar on March 15th at 2pm EST features experts in the file analysis space who will offer approaches and solutions companies have employed to tackle the problem of ever-expanding file shares.
