VERITAS RESEARCH EXCHANGE Proprietary and sponsored research to advance your information management initiatives About /Research Exchange – Information Management Insights SHARE: Are you a data hoarder? Continuing the efforts of the Data Genomics Project, Veritas recently conducted research into the storage behaviors of IT professionals worldwide. Examining the data storage habits of over 10,000 global office professionals and IT decision makers, the study gives surprising insight into the composition of data environments and the user behavior that created them. Among the findings: Nearly three-quarters of respondents admitted they are hoarders of data and digital files. Nearly half of respondents said they would rather work weekends for three months than delete their digital files. Over 85 percent of respondents said they store data that could be potentially harmful to the organization.

The report highlights that workloads across the board – even those deemed business critical – are transitioning to cloud platforms. Obviously, lower costs and increased agility are among the driving factors of cloud adoption. However, as enterprises are balancing complexities across multiple on-premises and cloud-based environments, they need a way to address inherent information-based risks in this increasingly heterogeneous world. Download the Report State of Information Governance | 2016 Report The State of Information Governance Report presents new research findings that illuminate the most effective information governance practices that are empowering organizations to extract as much value as possible out of their information, while simultaneously reducing related risks and costs. Overall, the study reveals that 94% of organizations have invested in a formal information governance program, yet only 40% of organizations are classified as high performers. This report identifies which practices organizations should prioritize if they hope to get the most out of their information governance program. Download the Report The Databerg Report Veritas recently commissioned one of the largest global independent research reports into data management, highlighting attitudes and behaviours within organisations that are fuelling the data explosion. The report highlights that a 'store everything' hoarding culture is forming 'databergs': where masses of unstructured, irrelevant, unseen or unclassified data grow daily with no notion of slowing down. They conceal a threat 'below the waterline', adding significant levels of risk and cost to organisations. This risk is rising. Download the Report Download the Infographic The Data Genomics Index The Data Genomics Index is the first report to provide accurate insights into today’s enterprise data environment and act as a comparison standard. These insights can jump start an organization’s initiatives to act intelligently and devote remediation efforts where they will get the best return. One key highlight from the index is that incredibly, 41% of the average environment is stale, or unmodified in the past three years. With the exception of regulatory or compliance requirements, three years is a general standard for when data goes from potentially relevant to stale, which means companies are bearing massive costs to store data that is otherwise not being leveraged or used in any way.
