Veritas’ Tom Kennedy: Agencies Should Adopt Cloud-Based Tools to Facilitate Data Mgmt

Tom Kennedy, vice president and general manager of Veritas Technologies™ public sector business, has said federal agencies must create strategies for organizing unstructured data, leveraging cloud-based tools to manage the massive amounts of information.

Kennedy wrote that a cloud-based archiving platform, for instance, works to help agencies automate the process of classifying documents and other records in compliance with the organization™s retention policy.

œIt adds a content-based classification process to the federal government™s role-based Capstone approach, he added.

The use of cloud-based platforms that work to determine the location of data and offer classification-based statistics could help agencies decide when to discard unnecessary content as well as reduce costs and data footprint, Kennedy noted.

He cited the need for agencies to develop a records management strategy that allows them to deploy automation tools and streamline œcross-functional workflows.

Kennedy also discussed the potential benefits of deploying automated redaction and editing platforms and data classification tools to agencies.
