In this article from Information Weekly, Brian Barnier explains some steps businesses can take to make sure they aren’t making costly mistakes when it comes to social media and how internal data is handled. He goes into specific details in the article, but the main points he emphasizes are:
1. Decide what data is important to you
For example private customer information, the details given out on social media websites, and data gathered from your various sales, marketing and accounting departments.
2. Look for all in one packages
Make managing the above data as easy as possible with programs or solutions that handle everything. An all in one solution will save time and in the end money.
3. Automate
Taking the all in one packages one step further and automating how your business data is managed will avoid possible breaches and problems in the future. You can do this through office policies or through a set of processes.
