Demonstrating the Bottom Line Value of Information

We all know that information is a valuable asset, but how valuable is it really? Just as the sensitivity of information may be elevated, the same is also true for its value. Join us as we walk you through our approach to determining the value of our information.

The valuation of information assets drives the faceted categorization of information based on business value and risk and allows for fact-driven decision making on:

Level of investment in specific information assets and repositories
Prioritizing resources to steward and ensure information quality
Projects related to information management
Retention and disposition schedules
Enterprise search
External value and information that deserves attention
