Information has become the most important and strategic asset in an organisation today. Virtually every business these days needs to manage this information electronically. To maximise competitive advantage, using innovation to work with and manage this information is critical. The agility, security and simplicity of management of organisations' information are essential in achieving competitive advantage.

In an average business, information is growing at an exponential rate of 60 per cent every year. Given government regulations and legislation, much of this information needs to be saved for at least seven years, and in some instances, forever. This requirement poses the challenge of how to store this information in a way that is secure while also classified, categorised and manageable so it can be found and retrieved when needed.

The solution to this challenge is to implement an holistic information infrastructure which stores, protects, and automates information which is categorised based on value of the information and its usage requirements.

At EMC, we work with clients to ensure cost effective and efficient information management. Innovation within EMC is driven by our customers' needs as well as the contribution from internal EMC employees. Through the EMC Innovation Network, EMC collects thousands of ideas from staff around the world which are then evaluated and developed depending on their application.

With over 8000 engineers dedicated to research and development, EMC develops solutions that enable organisations to build holistic information infrastructures.

EMC constantly develops innovative new products that will help our customers better manage their information from creation to back-up, recovery and archiving. Our recently announced flash technology for enterprise storage platforms is just one example of this innovation which increases performance by 30 times while at the same time reducing carbon footprint by up to 70 per cent.
