There are so many benefits to an effective information and records management framework we could be here all day talking about it. 😁
However, on this #digitalcleanupday, we wanted to specifically look at the benefits of a robust retention programme in terms of energy saving and reducing our impact on the environment. 🌍
Did you know...
💡 In 2022, about 70 million servers were used to store data. Each one caused the production of 1–2 tons of CO2. In that year, about 20 million of them became e-waste.
💡 320 billion emails are sent every day and 62 trillion spam emails every year = 20 million tons of CO2!
💡 90% of all data is never accessed 3 months after it is stored.
As well as the benefits to planet, there are all sorts of cost saving, process efficiency, data quality and Data Protection compliance reasons for ensuring you are only generating and keeping what you need.
