When it comes to our collective enterprises, we are now officially in the Age of Data Discovery. Over the past 20 years, organizations enjoyed the convenience of storing all their digital data against a backdrop of ever-decreasing storage costs. Many experts believe that in the past year, we crossed two key milestones that catapulted us into the this new age:

• We achieved the one-Zettabyte of data generated mark
• Our data growth rate began outstripping the continued cost reduction of storage

A tipping point? You betcha! Rich data type media generated from websites to mobile applications are flooding enterprise storage. What’s truly amazing about this data tsunami is that most of this content is not business-related and/or not needed. This is the ”hidden gold” that is ready to be mined – removed or properly dispositioned — to open up valuable storage capacity.

Companies are starting to get ahead of the curve, starting to define and drive active data reduction programs. A data reduction program is the fastest way to recover the hidden value in you budget and your enterprise.

Washington D.C. – Cadence Group, Inc. and Deepdive Technologies, Inc., this week announced the launch of  ePurge^SM- a service that cleans up inactive electronic content from server file shares
and personal drives—at the 2011 ARMA conference in Washington D.C.  Available for the first time, ePurge enables companies to quickly, easily, and inexpensively clean up their ever-growing data stores of unstructured and largely unmanaged electronic information while addressing the organization’s legal and regulatory retention requirements. The solution is not only easy to implement, because there is not the cost of software integration, it makes the end result finally affordable for companies of all sizes. With the proliferation of digital information and electronic documents organizations have accepted a culture of information hoarding. The result is a sea of overloaded and redundant content and a flood of unnecessary information that distracts staffers and wastes resources and funds.

Created by records managers for records managers, the ePurge solution is optimized to mitigate legal risk and address electronic records compliance. It is especially-suited for mid-sized to large organizations with internal and external pressures to address these growing issues.

The ePurge tool and triage methodology was developed jointly by Cadence Group, a seasoned records and information management consulting firm and Deepdive Technologies, an e-discovery software developer.  More information can be obtained by calling 1-888-346-8125 or visiting www.cadence-group.com.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – August 24, 2010 – Deepdive Technologies Inc., the advanced data risk management solutions company, today announced a partnership with TBG Security to provide the Deepdive^® eScout^™ platform to TBG customers who would benefit from agentless Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions. The eScout platform enables network-wide data access – quickly and cost effectively – without the need for installing software or agents on the client’s systems.  After an extensive evaluation, TBG is incorporating the eScout platform in their service offering to Fortune 1000 customers across a variety of markets and geographies.

Deepdive President and CEO, Alan Steinberg explained, “TBG’s endorsement of the eScout platform signifies that all-sized companies are committed to implementing data risk plans. TBG is a strong addition to Deepdive’s professional services partner network, helping us expand the reach of eScout to a host of new customers and markets. With a non-intrusive DLP platform, there are no longer any barriers to knowing what sensitive data and theft risks exist on your endpoint computers and servers.”

TBG Security CEO, Frank Murphy, described eScout benefits this way: “Within hours of an eScout deployment, our clients get a good picture of data at rest issues and what corrective action needs to be taken. TBG Security can then develop a complete and targeted data risk management plan for the client based on the eScout reports. The Deepdive eScout is a great example of the kind of breakthrough tool our clients have come to expect from TBG.”

Deepdive’s effortless data loss prevention solution optimizes information security and compliance for companies of all sizes. The eScout platform removes economic, geographic and logistical barriers for companies to adopt proactive data management strategies for the first time. Applications for eScout are far-reaching spanning vertical markets where protecting data is critical such as student information and proprietary research at universities, patient information at healthcare facilities and customer credit card information at corporations.

The eScout platform is used across all markets faced with threats including employee data theft.  These losses — often through endpoint computers such as desktops and notebooks — are growing at an alarming rate. According to Forrester Research, 50% of companies have suffered data loss via easily removable media such as USB drives.  And these losses are expensive. In 2009, Ponemon Institute quantified the average cost per data breach was $6.6M USD. (http://www.slideshare.net/timatpgp/2009-cost-of-data-breach)
