WikitipElectronic content management organizational nuancesIT in general and storage administration in particular should recognize that they will be required to administer and ultimately integrate unstructured content archives broadly across the organization. Like other cross-functional, high technology-oriented but business-driven initiatives (e.g. disaster recovery), CIOs must ideally have direct reporting authority from or at least strong matrix influence over the policies, procedures and practices associated with e-mail and other unstructured content archives and should propose organizational structures that reflect these responsibilities. Records management is a vital part of this mosaic. |

Featured How-To Note |
Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. |
