This document discusses how information sprawl is a major problem for IT organizations. As more information and applications are created, it leads to uncontrolled growth in storage costs, backup costs, and application costs. This information sprawl consumes most of an IT budget, leaving little funding for innovation. The document proposes using a structured records management solution to help manage information lifecycles and automatically dispose of data after retention periods end. This can help reduce storage costs by 50%, backup costs by 70%, and application costs by 60%, while ensuring compliance and reducing risk.
