Unstructured information is growing out of control. 80% of an organization’s data is unstructured and it is growing at a rate of 40 – 50% each year.
Spiralling numbers of Office documents, rich media files and specialized information files are all placing a huge burden on storage systems, file servers and ECM repositories.
Our solutions help you to streamline your operations and costs, enhance compliance, enable collaboration, and mitigate risk by proactively identifying high value content located within silos of unstructured information in your organization. Active Navigation allows your organization to understand and gain control of the content located in file shares, legacy collaboration or ECM repositories
Active Navigation Methodology
We all know that technology is a powerful tool that touches all of us in some way or another. But technology alone cannot solve the problems most organizations face in today’s world, especially when it comes to the identification, control and governance of their unstructured data.
Active Navigation believes that to address this issue, an organization needs to adopt a methodology that embraces the strong technological solutions it offers along with People and Process. Technology, People and Process is how the landfill was created, and it is the only way to address it successfully. Our structured, repeatable 5 step methodology is based on best practices and lessons learned over years of successfully addressing e-trash and the digital landfill, and empowers an organization to take control and maximize the value of its unstructured information.
Content Discovery and Cleanup
Content Cleanup will remove ROT™ and other unwanted information from your file shares and reduce their size by as much as 70%!
Intelligent SharePoint Migration
To be of any use, documents in SharePoint must have metadata; Intelligent Migration provides that metadata in context, adding value to information as it is migrated. Active Navigation leverages powerful content analytics and text mining to drive the development of relevant taxonomies, the extraction of key metadata and to provide appropriate content types for migrated files. This significantly improves the quality and value of information, making your migration more efficient and SharePoint more effective as a knowledge sharing tool.
Identify Sensitive Data
Not all content is created equal. Critical content is difficult to find in a sea of unmanaged information. Active Navigation supports regulatory compliance by indentifying and remediating sensitive information, such as Personally Identifiable Information, leaked into open repositories. It can also track down uncontrolled high value content such as client case documents, intellectual property data or asset management data.
Content Consolidation
Data center consolidation is commonplace as industry seeks to do more with less. Active Navigation’s solutions are key to any restructuring or consolidation process, enabling the cleaning, categorization and merger of legacy and new content into your organization’s revised information architecture.
