Global Security Magazine: Intelligent Information Management for the Real World
By Richard Grondin, SAND Technology
Intelligent Information Management is not really a new concept. What is new is the scope and volume of enterprise data that needs to be managed, and the more stringent regulations concerning data governance by which organizations must abide. Now more than ever, enterprise data assets need to be managed carefully to protect data access, immutability, privacy, monitoring capabilities, auditability, and business value over the complete information lifecycle. This is precisely what IIM is about, and to be successful it needs to be implemented with a focus on the data itself instead of on the specific ways it will be used.
