The Information Lifecycle Management Imperative

Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) has gained significant buzz in the marketplace for good reason: ILM solutions offer the promise of improving efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing revenue. These benefits appeal to today's executives, who are intent on leveraging IT into a competitive advantage. That's a tall order, but ILM addresses all of these areas. Proper management of all kinds of enterprise information enlarges management's view of the enterprise and its business. An enterprise can't afford not to manage its information wisely throughout all phases of the lifecycle. A unified approach to managing information throughout its lifecycle helps decision makers discover connections across applications, departments, and repositories.
