Controlling storage growth: How information governance reduces IT cost pressure
Data volume continues to expand across document management systems, collaboration platforms, email, backups, and archives. Infrastructure costs rise steadily, often without clear visibility into what is being stored, why it is being retained, or whether it still has value.
This webinar focuses on how mature information governance directly supports CIO cost-control priorities. We will examine:
The financial impact of over-retention and duplication
Hidden storage costs across primary, secondary, and backup environments
The operational burden of unmanaged legacy data
Aligning retention schedules with infrastructure strategy
Implementing defensible deletion programmes
Overcoming cultural resistance to data reduction
Rather than viewing storage growth as inevitable, this session reframes it as a governance issue. When data is classified, retained intentionally, and defensibly disposed of, infrastructure becomes predictable, scalable, and strategically aligned with firm growth.
This is the first webinar in a 5 part series that explores how information governance provides the structure CIOs need to manage growing data volumes, reduce risk exposure, and support innovation across the firm.
