Businesses need to meet user service demands, capture new markets and continue to grow. Compliance ensures that information is managed within the laws and regulations that apply to a business, and can be demonstrated when required. Compliance is critical to a business, as a non-compliance situation can result in serious, long-term damage to a company’s brand and reputation.
Complex audit and compliance requirements can impact an organization’s bottom-line. IBM Information Infrastructure helps businesses reduce the complexity and costs associated with compliance, while enabling them to protect against potential financial penalties and damage to their reputation. Information Compliance entails technologies, processes and services to capture, manage and retain all relevant business information with security, integrity, and privacy. It is based on specific rules and policies and companies must be able to discover and furnish that information upon request.
Disasters can destroy vast amounts of work and data with devastating effects on business viability. Extended unplanned downtime can be just as debilitating as a physical disaster. Disruptions to availability can impede user productivity, impact revenue, and damage customer loyalty, partner relationships, brand, and reputation.
IBM Information Infrastructure assists organizations in identifying the information that is most critical to their business, prioritizing areas such as intellectual property, financial information, human resource data, and customer records. It leverages best-practice frameworks to create and implement a comprehensive strategy for achieving the desired level of information resiliency, which can include the ability to deliver continuous and secure access to information, optimize employee productivity and client satisfaction, meet service level agreement requirements, and reduce management costs.
Every organization needs to manage information growth and associated business risk and cost. Businesses need to keep documents and records accessible in order to conduct business.
There also are other reasons why some organizations should “retain” specific documents:
to comply with industry or government regulatory mandates
to minimize the risk of litigation
to maintain, and be able to refer back to, critical documents for future product or business development reasons
IBM Information Infrastructure can help organizations facilitate management and retention of business information to help them respond effectively to legal, regulatory, and business inquiries.
Organizations must be able to protect and securely share information across the enterprise, as well as with partners and customers. This includes enabling secure business collaboration with effective controls that protect intellectual property and the privacy of sensitive customer information without hampering business processes. It means providing secure access to the appropriate information to those who need it, when they need it, while ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of that information.
IBM Information Infrastructure helps enable a client’s information security strategy, identify priorities and risks, determine where sensitive information resides, and provide a means to prioritize and address vulnerabilities and security gaps. Based on those assessments, an organization can create a thoughtful security strategy to improve its security posture. IBM offers the full range of hardware, software, and services to help build the right information infrastructure for clients´ particular needs.
