IBM Sponsor Presentation:
Managing Information for Business Value: ILM and ECM in the Real World
ILM and Enterprise Content Management both represent comprehensive solutions areas to help tame the information explosion -- and drive business value in the process. But too often they are talked about in separate forums and sold to different constituencies. A recent investigation by IBM into ILM and ECM together challenged storage and ECM experts to defend their claims, rationalize their benefits and define what each brings to the other - and what they don't. This presentation arrays the growing world of ECM solutions against five flexible IBM ILM 'entry points', themselves ranging well beyond storage. A 20-year storage and ECM veteran shows you synergies, distinctions and real-world solutions you can use today.

3:00 - 3:45 PM ET
Hot Button Panel 2:
Using ILM to Reduce Risk before It's Too Late
The hazards of data sprawl go beyond missed business opportunities. If your enterprise fails to keep records—or holds data that it should discard, regulatory compliance may be at risk. If data is too accessible, sensitive data can be exposed, which can be costly to your business. After a major business interruption, your ability to access mission-critical data in a timely manner is critical to disaster recovery and business continuity. Find out how ILM can help your enterprise improve compliance, security and business continuity.

• Developing a data retention strategy
• Complying with federal eDiscovery & eHold requirements
• Leveraging ILM to recover faster from business interruptions

5:00 - 5:45 PM ET
Hot Button Panel 3:
Reducing the Cost & Complexity of Moving Data
Low-cost, ad-hoc approaches to adding storage capacity can result in high maintenance costs that may be more than you bargained for. What’s the best approach to reducing the cost and complexity of maintaining and moving data? If you are paying a lot of money to keep low-value information, should you move data to less costly servers? What are the benefits and risk of ‘tiered’ approaches to storage? Virtualization technologies can add capacity, but what issues should be addressed when going this route? Explore ILM and the latest tools to control upfront-- and ongoing-- storage costs.

• Managing relentless data growth
• Making lifecycle data movement less complex
• Obtaining a cost benefit from ILM
