Managing information as a corporate asset: Challenges, actions, and return on investments (ROI)

Unstructured data accounts for approximately 80% of entire companies' data, yet it is often overlooked and poorly managed. This can lead to a number of challenges, including operational inefficiencies, loss of time, uncontrolled storage growth, and significant financial impacts.

To address these challenges, organizations must prioritize the establishment of a dedicated information management team and implement comprehensive data management strategies. By doing so, they can streamline data storage, ensure compliance, enhance knowledge sharing, and mitigate risks, ultimately leading to improved efficiency, reduced costs, and strengthened data-driven decision-making capabilities.

In addition to the obvious costs associated with storing and managing unstructured data, there are also a number of indirect costs, such as:

  • Wasted time accessing or validating content
  • Increased concerns about validity and versioning issues
  • Impacts on search engine results
  • Duplication of data and documents
  • Environmental impact of storing and transmitting data

Unmanaged information can also generate and increase corporate risks, such as:

  • Loss of sensitive information
  • Uncontrolled access to personal data
  • Integrity compromise of reports
  • Security breaches
  • Compliance violations

By taking steps to manage unstructured data effectively, organizations can reap a number of benefits, including:

  • Improved efficiency
  • Reduced costs
  • Strengthened data-driven decision-making capabilities
  • Reduced risk of compliance violations
  • Reduced environmental impact
