@34162 The most important issue is legal discovery. You may not
know what you have or how to find it, so it can be very difficult
to find the files that may be required by a court of law. It's also
difficult to enforce data deletion (aka scrubbing) if you have not
categorized your data. Recently, a judge gave a large chipmaker 30
days to recover about 1,000 lost emails that should have been kept
for an antitrust lawsuit. It can be a daunting task to locate
related emails, especially when the body of the message has nothing
to do with subject lines -- each email body must be searched.
Delays and the inability to locate required data can result in very
costly penalties to your business.
