The SNIA DMF Information Lifecycle Management Initiative has gone beyond the marketing hype that has surrounded ILM for the past 5 years, by launching the new “ILM Maturity Model.”

Organizations looking to reduce operating costs and improve efficiencies in the data center need to assess their information assets and have a roadmap for improvement. A vendor–neutral Information Lifecycle Management Maturity self–assessment tool is now available for use.

Several members of SNIA’s End-User Community contributed in this joint effort with the Data Management Forum’s ILM Initiative to develop this model of ILM maturity that you can use today.

It is available for download via the STORTOC.org community site.
