The Big Data Game

After an extended absence from the blogging world, we at Image Express are back. During our break from social media, we’ve been helping our clients tackle any and all issues they’ve had when it comes to developing automated business solutions and managing their digital information and data. It’s no longer a matter of just getting files and information stored in a digital format, but rather an issue of cost-effectively managing that information and putting it to work to save you and your organization time and money. Obviously the elimination of paper files is a start, but the real ROI in our industry comes when we can automate business processes and decipher what information is important and necessary to your company - this is why data management should be at the top of every organization’s priority list.

It should come as no surprise that in today’s world we are generating more data than ever before. In fact, 90% of the world’s data that now exists has been created in just the past two years! According to a study conducted by IBM, as of 2012 we are creating roughly 2.5 EXABYTES of data each and every day. What’s an Exabyte (EB)? 1 EB is the equivalent of 1 billion GBs. A billion… with a B. To put that in perspective, if you were to take that amount of data, put it into iPads, and stack them up you could build the equivalent of over 2,000 Empire State buildings - every single day. So how do we combat this? Glad you asked…

Our partners over at Imation are leading the charge when it comes to managing your organizations data with the Nexsan Assureon archive storage system. This system helps users identify key elements to their data storage and is as easy to use as it gets. Some of the major industries we are seeing utilize the Assureon system are Financial, Healthcare, and all levels of government, however this system is scalable and applicable to anyone in need of a cost effective data management solution. We recognize that every organization is different, and this is certainly not a cookie-cutter system. Whether your organization is dealing with storage optimization, data archiving, regulatory/compliance issues, or connecting offices for easy data access, the Assureon solution will undoubtedly boost efficiency and provide a quick and significant ROI – which is really what this game is all about.

Our job is to find your pain points - those areas within your organization where data management is slowing you down. We work hand in hand throughout the process so that these solutions fit specifically within your organizational needs, again with the ultimate goal of saving you time and money.  For more information on how we at Image Express and our partners at Imation can help, give us a call (952) 906-3022 or visit our website at www.imageexpressinc.com
