In this whitepaper we give a brief overview of explore Unstructured Data Management (UDM) and the data discovery process. We will also demonstrate how efficient UDM requires process reengineering from the very beginning, and what to consider when and if purchasing an application. 

All privacy regulations stipulate that companies must limit the data they collect, what they do with it, and how long they keep it. To achieve this, you need to manage your data. Adopting a holistic approach that accounts for people, process, and technology is key to achieving your goals. It is important to note that technology is the last step in any UDM project and, as we will show, organizations can achieve substantial savings without purchasing and installing new applications. 

Identifying quick wins and what success looks like will help establish your UDM goals.
