Every company takes a slightly different approach to implementing a
long-term archiving infrastructure. Although there is a common set of
practices that best-of-breed organizations tend to follow, these processes
are not widely known, and are elusive in nature. Plasmon has defined
a set of best practices, referred to as Business Archive Management,
which will help you develop and improve your archiving processes.
Business Archive Management is focused on safeguarding your critical information
assets, supporting efficient and effective corporate governance, and helping
you create business value. It consists of a comprehensive set of business processes
that are supported by technology. And by implementing these “best practices,” you
can more effectively link business strategy with IT actions.
Why is Business Archive Management
important?
Effective Business Archive Management is critical for organizations today.
It helps reduce business and legal risks, lower costs through storage
optimization, and create incremental business value.

Improved corporate governance
reduces risks: There
are thousands of regulations impacting how business information must
be stored, accessed, and maintained. Failure to comply can result
in significant fines and/or harsh regulatory sanctions. Organizations
can minimize risks by implementing strong business processes for
archiving that are linked to larger corporate governance requirements. |

Efficient use of corporate assets lowers
costs: Double-digit data
growth and longer retention requirements are fundamentally changing
the way information assets are managed and archived. It is no longer
practical or cost-effective to keep fixed content on primary storage
devices. A strong archiving business process optimizes storage
resources and improves access to information.

Reusing archived information creates incremental
business value: Most
companies today are searching for ways to increase revenue, decrease
costs, and improve customer relationships. And growth often involves
reusing archived data. For example, entertainment companies have
created new revenue streams by reselling archived motion picture
footage. |
