Identifying ways to save costs is always a key initiative for many organizations. For an IT department, one of the largest costs is storage, and Livelink ECM technology can play a crucial role in reducing this cost by millions of dollars.

Storage requirements have increased rapidly due to growing file sizes and quantity, but they are set to increase even faster. Content production is accelerating with media-rich Web 2.0 technologies and the continued push towards the digitization of paper documents, such as invoices. And users are accustomed to cheap storage, while enterprise storage is significantly more expensive and often duplicates content for business continuity purposes.

At the same time, storage vendors charge extra for storage-reduction technologies, while managing data at the storage layer. This means that migrating from their products is an arduous process, and it gives vendors the upper hand when negotiating future enterprise agreements.

Livelink ECM – Intelligent Storage Management helps bring storage expenses under control by integrating ECM with storage virtualization. The solution drives storage according to business context, harnessing the rich metadata of IT applications to optimize storage—including migrating data automatically through multiple storage tiers, leveraging less expensive media, while providing high-end storage services to further reduce storage demands.
