Common archiving challenges include:

  • A lack of storage control
  • No enforceable information governance
  • High eDiscovery costs

An archiving strategy results in:

  • Clear management strategy for storage that includes retention schedules
  • Streamlined eDiscovery
  • Discovery moving out of IT’s hands and into Legal’s hands
  • A specific set of metrics for determining when a product has reached end of life
