What is DGassist™?

DGassist™ is the solution for organisations that want to actively manage and optimise their data estate. Building on a complete data inventory, the platform analyses data quality, storage structures and permissions, helping organisations clean up, consolidate and migrate large volumes of data efficiently.

The solution helps answer questions such as:

• Which data is generating unnecessary storage costs?
• Where is redundant, obsolete or outdated information stored?
• Which data can be archived or safely deleted?
• Which data should be cleaned up before a migration?
• Where are the opportunities to optimise your data landscape?

DGassist™ provides the foundation for efficient data management and sustainable data governance.

The Challenges

Many organisations accumulate vast amounts of unstructured data over the years, much of which is no longer actively used. Redundant files, outdated documents and legacy storage structures increase storage requirements, complicate migration projects and add unnecessary complexity to the IT environment.

Common challenges include:

• Rapidly growing storage requirements
• High backup and operational costs
• Dark Data and ROT Data
• Outdated project and archive data
• Complex permission structures
• Time-consuming data migration projects
• Limited visibility into optimisation opportunities

Without structured analysis, organisations often continue to retain unnecessary or outdated data, or even migrate it into new systems, increasing costs, complexity and risk.

The Solution

DGassist™ analyses data estates based on data quality, usage and lifecycle, helping organisations implement targeted optimisation measures with confidence and efficiency.

The platform identifies, among other things:

• Dark Data
• ROT Data (Redundant, Obsolete and Trivial data)
• Duplicate files
• Outdated information
• Unused storage locations
• Legacy permission structures
• Data with archiving or deletion potential

This provides organisations with a solid foundation for making informed decisions about data clean-up, migration and storage optimisation.
