Why IBM Information lifecycle governance?

Today, companies and their information governance leaders are rapidly working to define programs and improve processes that enable defensible disposal of unnecessary data. This effort can curb storage growth, dramatically lower IT and legal costs, and lower the organization’s risk profile systemically.

Defensible disposal enables IT to:

• achieve transparency for legal and business obligations and policies for data in a shared data source catalog
• automatically apply retention schedules and legal holds on data to consistently dispose of unnecessary data
• defensibly dispose of unnecessary structured and unstructured data
• curb storage growth and manage data by its value

• 

  Archiving

  Value-based archiving helps IT and the business coordinate to: archive email files, application data, and social content based on its business value; govern structured and unstructured archives with unified policy management and automation; retain, hold and dispose of archived content efficiently; de-duplicate and compress data to reduce storage space and cost.

• 

  eDiscovery

  Rigorous and efficient ediscovery helps legal departments issue and automate legal holds with precision across data sources; collect, cull and assess evidence and control costs; and manage custodians, collections and data source obligations in concert with IT.

• 

  Records and retention management

  Helps records and information management (RIM) manage global taxonomy and retention schedules for all information; coordinate retention program across business units, records liaisons and legal more efficiently; manage records in disparate systems, in place, in a centralized manner; syndicate and enforce retention schedules on structured and unstructured records and information
