Dark data; it may sound like science fiction, but the implications of your company holding unstructured, unidentified information are very real. Not only are businesses wasting thousands of pounds every year storing unnecessary information, but with the upcoming GDPR, a lack of information governance could cost your company the equivalent of €20 million or 4% of your annual global turnover — whichever is higher. These grave penalties for data management non-compliance could spell insolvency or even the closure of some firms. So, how can your business avoid data hoarding?
