Why you need a data management strategy before content migration

Increasing productivity and reducing operational costs are just a few benefits. However, it will mean nothing if you don't do it right. Below we'll tell you why you need a data management strategy before content migration.

Without a data management strategy, before you start your migration, you're likely to have:

An increase in storage costs

Storing not only enriched data but ROT data can be costly. The sooner you go through your content and get rid of any ROT data will make for a cleaner migration, ultimately saving you money.

Reduced productivity

The longer your employees search for the right content, the less productive they'll be. Having a data management strategy and going through your content before migration will make it easier to find all your content in an organized system.

Security & compliance risks

Having obsolete ROT data increases the risk of data breaches as they're accessible via inactive user accounts.

Reduced efficiency

Without a data management strategy, you will need more resources and time to back up, analyze and classify the data, reducing business efficiency, and costing money.

With our Content Analyser tool, our Proventeq team can make your business life a little easier by analyzing your content and data and delivering reports to help organize it before we start the migration.

From there, we suggest our Content ClassiFile, fully automating your business content organization whilst removing the risk of human error.
