StoredIQ Introduces Enterprise Information Management Assessment Services

Hi everyone, I’m Ellis Ishaya, VP of Operations for StoredIQ.  As many of you know, the exponential growth in data has been coupled with a historically limited view into what data is actually under management.  Added to the mix, companies are dealing with stricter personal identifiable information (PII) and payment card industry (PCI) laws, Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLBA) and HIPAA standards. This combination of increased ESI with tougher governance and compliance laws has translated into higher risk and costs to organizations.

In response, StoredIQ has launched our enterprise information management Assessment Services; the first in a series of service offerings that are designed to help companies quickly gain a deeper understanding of their information, allowing them to manage data to reduce risk, and deliver real business value and cost savings. Offered directly from StoredIQ or through a StoredIQ Solution Provider Partner, StoredIQ Assessment Services provide the following types of in-depth assessments based on an organization’s specific requirements:

• Data Topology Assessment
• Litigation Preparedness Assessment
• Records Management & Retention Assessment
• PII Risk & Compliance Assessment (PCI, GLBA, HIPAA, etc.)
• Custom Assessment Services

These assessments provide companies with a comprehensive view of all their corporate data, enabling them to make informed decisions affecting data management initiatives, including:

• Developing a risk mitigation and litigation readiness strategy
• Storage capacity planning
• Data migration or hardware end-of-life projects
• Archiving design and deployments
• Non-business related data identification and purging
• Records retention management
• Hierarchical storage management and reporting

On behalf of StoredIQ, I want to say how excited we are with the initial feedback we’ve received about the Assessment Services.  We believe that understanding the state of your data is the critical first step for companies developing litigation readiness strategies and records management or compliance policies.  We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific information management initiatives and how StoredIQ Assessment Services may benefit your organization. Lastly, we look forward to sharing new service offerings with you over the coming months!
