Despite the popular media connotations and mention of TLA organisations,
with regards to spurious data stored on hard disk drives, this issue
shouldn't be marred. What is very valuable in this new economy, is BI -
business intelligence. An obvious example of BI is customer data. Less
obvious is evidence of marketing objectives. For example, after I have
been on contract, during which, if my own hardware was used to undertake
tasks - then the hardware gets wiped or stronger, depending on agreed or
implied NDA levels. Insurance is also a consideration.
