Realize the potential now and secure advantagesLower costs through data management

Data is often referred to as the gold of digitization. This usually means big data and business intelligence. So really very large, very well structured (and classified) databases. This data is available in databases and can be largely automatically evaluated and processed.

The unstructured data, however, must be clearly distinguished from this. They arise every day in daily work, they are seldom classified and there are usually no clear rules for the storage location. They have been deposited on company servers for many years and are increasingly the exact opposite of gold: a real cost driver!

The white paper highlights several areas where companies can realize significant savings potential through structured data management. Here are the most important areas:

1. Technical infrastructure

  • data reduction: Reducing the amount of data leads to less storage requirements.
  • backup efficiency: Less data means shorter backup times and less storage requirements.
  • hardware savings: Optimized data management requires less hardware.
  • Energy consumption: Fewer servers and more efficient data management reduce energy consumption and thus electricity costs.

2. Labor Costs

  • minimize search times: Employees spend significant time searching for files every day. Optimizing filing structures can significantly reduce this time.
    Example: In a company with 500 employees, inefficient search processes can cost over 100.000 euros annually.
  • Reduce IT support: Less administrative workload for the IT department, as specialist departments can independently manage data and access rights with improved tools.

3. Risks due to lack of compliance

  • Avoid fines: Data protection violations can lead to significant penalties (e.g. 160 million euros in GDPR fines in Europe according to Haufe.de).
  • Protect your reputation: Data loss or unauthorized access can damage a company’s reputation.
  • Minimize internal security risks: Half of all cyberattacks originate from the company itself; optimized data management reduces unauthorized access.

4. Efficient data management

  • Cost reduction through data retention: Unused or less important data is outsourced and archived on cheaper storage.
  • Promote collaboration: With tools like migRaven.24/7 Employees can find relevant data faster and use it more efficiently.
