Data governance has a brand problem. For many people it still screams control, cost, and “blocker” – exactly the opposite of what we’re actually trying to achieve.

Naked #advertorial shamelessly promoting #TechOligarch MSFT. #data preservation on glass has been around for >>50 years. The issues are not capacity or media lifespan, but retrieval time and tech obsolescence.
