Content management users have long created high-value content and stored it in content management repositories. The IT department has for years been providing services to the lines of business (LOB) from the data center to the local area network; services include the heavy lifting of data storage, data backup, data recovery and disaster recovery, as well as a plethora of other tasks that help keep data available with a high level of integrity. However, faced with such information growth, the IT department cannot go on adding more storage devices and more software to perform routine maintenance tasks indefinitely.
This white paper focuses on the importance of Information Lifecycle Management(ILM) for Enterprise Content Management(ECM) users. It aims to identify the key drivers of ILM and why organizations need an ILM strategy.
ILM is the strategy for ensurinmg that the information management costs are contained and that the most important information assets —those that contribute to growth and innovation-are identified, cared for and exploited to maximum effect.
