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 From duplicate files and outdated storage systems to rising costs and compliance pressures, unstructured data can quickly become unmanageable and expensive.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. 
  • Compliance and retention best practices – Ensuring GDPR compliance and safe data expiration policies. 
  • Data accessibility and security – Why understanding who has access to what data is critical for risk reduction. 
  • The power of data discovery – How auditing, cleaning, and migrating data can streamline operations and improve readiness for AI-driven insights. 

Featuring insights from Dan Lear, Head of Data, Information and Technology, Marine Biological Association and Brett Edgecombe CEO at 101 Data Solutions, this webinar will also showcase how the Marine Biological Association successfully tackled their data challenges from duplicate and legacy files to modernising storage for improved collaboration. 

Whether you’re in research, life sciences, or any data-intensive field, you’ll gain practical takeaways on how to regain control of your data, reduce costs, and future-proof your infrastructure.
