On average, 80 percent of an organization's documents are paper-based, including information such as client files, correspondence, invoices, reports, supply chain and shipping documentation and more. Filing, duplicating, shipping, and storing paper files is time consuming and expensive. Furthermore, electronic information such as Microsoft Office and Outlook files are usually kept in local PCs or shared drives, in a completely uncontrolled and unstructured way. Poor access to mission critical data slows business processes, decreases efficiency, impacts quality and customer service and increases the risk of regulatory non-compliance. Without secure management of unstructured information, the risk of losing data in the event of a disaster is increased.
