To make sound decisions and manage risk effectively, organizations need to catalogue the content and metadata of every piece of information they hold. This technique is known as ‘indexing’. Indexing is especially important when conducting eDiscovery, business intelligence, data minimization and information governance operations, which must be consistent, repeatable and legally defensible. Unfortunately, most approaches to eDiscovery and information governance do not index all available information due to technical challenges, resourcing problems and time constraints. Universal indexing technologies can ‘normalize’ collections of semi-structured and unstructured data, giving organizations the ability to catalogue, search, discover, manage and delete information consistently and defensibly. This makes discovery and governance exercises timely, cost-effective and easy to achieve.
