Think for a moment about your data and its value to your business. Like almost every other company in the world, you probably have files you access and change every day. For example, when you use your ERP system or accounting package, every time you record a new invoice or payroll transaction, the data changes. This is called dynamic data.

You probably also have files that don’t change once they are created. An example might be a proposal you just wrote for a new customer. Once you have created and delivered it, the file probably will not change. This is called static data. Other examples include engineering drawings, maps, pictures, x-rays, video, presentations, etc. If you consider it, you will probably realize that you have more static data than dynamic data. If so, you are not alone because this is true for most businesses today.
