One of the biggest challenges facing organizations as they implement content and records management solutions is how to handle the thousands of existing files that reside on shared drives scattered throughout the network. Over the years, these share drives have become a corporate junk drawer containing a mix of critical and nonessential content. And, because share drive cleanup is cumbersome and time-consuming, it typically remains at the bottom of the IT to-do list.
While some may consider "doing nothing" a plan, ignoring share drive cleanup can lead to serious threats to organizational health and well-being, including:
- Information theft and loss
- Serious compliance violations
- Litigation risk
- Severe penalties and sanctions
Just think about the silent risk associated with storing sensitive employee and customer-related content, expired records,
and non-compliant documents in potentially thousands of scattered locations within a network of unsecured share drives.
