Wikibon Co-founder and member practioner to speak at Storage Networking World in October
Unstructured Content Management: Moving from Server Room to Court Room to Board Room
Presented by Wikibon Members Dave Vellante, Co-founder of Wikibon with Mike McCreary, Senior Director of IT - Pfizer Legal
Wikibon is pleased to announce that its submission to Storage Networking World (SNW) - the world’s largest and foremost storage networking event - has been accepted by the SNW speaker selection committee. The executive duo will speak on Day 1 of the conference which is being held on October 15-18, 2007 at the Gaylord Texan Resort Hotel and Convention Center in Dallas, Texas.
Here is a description of the discussion:
One of the biggest challenges facing storage executives today is the out of control growth of unstructured data. Get it wrong and your CEO could land in jail or your company could lose billions from lawsuits. While everyone is rightly framing this issue in terms of Sarbanes-Oxley and litigation risks, little attention is given to the fact that it will be virtually impossible for organizations to truly gain control of unstructured data without the ability to auto-classify data at the point of creation or use. Unfortunately the technologies and processes available to auto-classify content are immature and often unreliable or inadequate, meaning companies remain exposed.
Attendees of this session will learn how to navigate this potential crisis and 1) understand the new organizational tensions storage administrators will encounter; 2) gain tools to communicate the problem to executive management; and 3) identify how to address key areas of exposure immediately.
Vellante and McCreary will be speaking from 1:00 - 1:45PM on Monday (Day 1) in the Information Management Track. For more information please check out: Storage Networking World Web Site
