On average, organisations experience a 40-60% annual increase in information stored in digital form. Of all this content, about 80% is unstructured data.

Given this explosion of enterprise data volumes, people and technology both face considerable challenges. Data has to be stored, managed and be readily available for business use whenever necessary while respecting more and more stringent external regulatory requirements.
At the same time, data privacy and access security have to be ensured whilst offering effective information retrieval mechanisms for improved user productivity.

How BearingPoint brings value

• Information Asset Management (IAM) provides the mechanism and a core set of enablers which allow for information to be treated as a valuable asset. This enterprise-wide framework helps clients treat their information with the same priority as any other assets by making sure it is properly classified, stored and secured. IAM translates the policies and guidelines created by other solution offerings into technical requirements both at the application or hardware levels.
• We provide IAM advisory services to our clients that encompass the creation, recognition, classification, control, distribution, retention and final disposal of information in accordance with laws, regulations and leading business practices.
