Unmanaged Information Growth

System performance:

- slow responding transactions

Lack of a retention strategy:

- data is online indefinitely without a defined lifecycle

- does not meet regulatory compliance requirements

- high risk

Data storage:

- high storage costs due to large DB size

- high storage & database administration costs

Large, fragmented system landscape:

- high infrastructure costs

- high system administration costs
