Why we care about data • We believe that data generated by the people working for an organization need to be proactively managed. • We know this isn’t the case in the majority of organizations around the world yet. • The only thing we do is to help organizations manage their semi- and unstructured data. • We aren’t satisfied until we’ve seen a customer achieve a reduction in risks, costs, and environmental impact, as well as have located their valuable data.
