No matter where one works anymore (public or private sector), the line between what data organizations should keep classified and what data they should expose or make public is becoming more convoluted. Laws like the Freedom of Information Act coupled with recent changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) are forcing organizations to re-evaluate their data management practices so they can differentiate between what data they should keep private versus what data they should expose or make available to comply with these acts. However to meet the specifications of these laws requires data management software that easily gives companies the flexibility to access and manipulate their data to meet these new requirements.
