“If you’re like most IT managers, you’ve got a big problem on your hands: too much old information, but not enough guidance on how to begin the task of clearing it out.
Overland Park, KS (PRWEB) August 07, 2013
The life cycle of information can be compared to that of a bunch of daisies – valuable in the beginning, but eventually reduced to a smelly mess that needs to be thrown out. If the challenge of dealing with your information ROT – redundant, outdated, and trivial – seems insurmountable, you will find the help you need in Chucking Daises: Ten Rules for Taking Control of Your Organization’s Digital Debris.
Written by two highly regarded information governance professionals, Randolph A. Kahn, Esq., and Galina Datskovsky, Ph.D., CRM, Chucking Daisies is a must have for your library, and it is now available in hard copy or PDF from ARMA International.
“Galina and Randy bring together data and practical advice on how to manage the growing mountain of digital information that threatens to overwhelm enterprises, said Debra Logan, vice president and analyst at Gartner Inc. “The advice they give is sound and practical, mirroring what we have been telling clients.”
