Organisations are generating more and more information that is increasingly valuable, but also increasingly hard to locate and use in a meaningful way. The number and complexity of information sources are growing constantly, which results in people storing more data in more places. Disparate user interfaces present data differently, and this creates inconsistencies and confusion.

To help organisations take full advantage of their information, IT departments must overcome the following:

• The complexity of business information makes it difficult to structure, organise and process so it provides business insight.
• People have an increasing amount of data on their computers, much of it stored and organised poorly.
• When this data is placed on corporate networks or server folders, there is no unified process or method for filing and retrieving it.
• Companies need to be able to exchange documents and information internally, among multiple locations-such as server folders and intranets-and teams must work together across physical and cultural boundaries.
• Most firms manage and access content in silos, and each silo has its own data-storage method.
• There is frustration and productivity loss that accompanies search for documents and data.
