Data from the Depths: A Practical Case Study with the Marine Biological Association
Webinar Description
Managing growing volumes of file data is a challenge for every research-driven organisation. From duplicate files and outdated storage systems to rising costs and compliance pressures, unstructured data can quickly become unmanageable and expensive.
Join 101 Data Solutions and the Marine Biological Association (MBA) for a real-world look at how a data audit uncovered hidden inefficiencies, improved accessibility, and prepared MBA’s infrastructure for future research and AI initiatives.
Top Takeaways
- The hidden cost of data growth – How retaining everything indefinitely drives up storage and infrastructure expenses.
- Duplicate and redundant data – Identifying unnecessary files and understanding their impact on business performance.
