The recent article in The Economist published February 27, cited previously in this blog on March 10, examines how “The data deluge*,” information overload, however you refer to it, will lead to our demise.

One critical issue is available storage and reliable access. According to the publication and IDC, information created now exceeds available storage by 50%. However, in a mere 1 1/2 years from now information created estimated at 1,750 exabytes will exceed storage by over 100%! Where will that leave us in 2012? 2015? 2020?

For your company, can you honestly answer that you, your CIO and IT team will be ready to manage this exponential growth in volume projected by 2011? Best to establish a plan for a scalable content management structure now.

Let us help you master your business and competitor intelligence content management.
