Consolidating Data Stores (File Shares, EDM / ECM, Cloud Storage)

2016 seems to be the year of information governance for nControl as more and more organizations (law firms, hospitals, insurance companies, banks, CROs) look to consolidate their data stores.

It is as simple as picking a street from a strategic perspective.  Though harder to execute.

Most organizations want to enable their employees from a workflow perspective, so many go down the using solely cloud storage route.  That is fine as long as safeguards are in place (access controls, SSO, cryptography, retention schedules).

Regardless of whether cloud storage is used or not, it always seems redundant to use both file shares and EDM / ECM (SharePoint, Documentum) systems.  That is why it should be on the road-map of IT management to figure this out in 2016.
