DATA LIFECYCLE A Commvault® real-time transformation workshop Accurately examining, identifying and classifying data — dark or otherwise — are vital activities for maintaining the ever-changing and expanding needs of your business. As companies become more dependent on new data management technologies to conduct even simple business tasks, addressing stale data pools and data compliance issues has become crucial for business success. Data lifecycle planning is now an essential activity that, if overlooked, will create data sprawl. In the case of compliance or eDiscovery activities, ineffective data lifecycle planning can also place companies in high-risk, potentially costly situations.
Balancing the cost of moving data to inexpensive storage options against expectations for accessibility typically drives many organizations into a decision standoff. During Commvault’s Data Lifecycle workshop, our consultants serve as trusted advisors who will partner with you to prioritize your business requirements, envision a transformative data lifecycle future state for compliance and data movement, and develop a pragmatic roadmap to achieve it. Take control. Manage your data holistically to maximize its value.
Workshop Benefits • Ensure alignment between business goals, constraints, risks, critical success factors and your data lifecycle design and implementation plans
