Put an end to the information free for all

Published January 2009

Companies know the value of their information and that it defines their intellectual property. But they don’t understand where it’s stored or what the latest version is. The fundamental question people keep asking is: ‘Where’s the truth?'

Changing the underlying structure of the information is pointless. In most growing businesses it would require totally new IT systems, and anyway, departments need ‘their own’ accounts systems, CRM systems, email, etc.

It’s more than a storage problem. What’s required is a way of:

• Extracting information from silos and making it more widely available

• Achieving this in a way that remains relevant to each department or team of employees

• Enabling people to share information widely, yet in a secure and controlled fashion

• …and letting them search entire repositories quickly and efficiently
