The two newest executives join an experienced leadership team that helps organizations find and unlock the value of data, no matter where it lives. The Aparavi Platform finds, automates, governs and consolidates distributed data easily with deep intelligence into details like location, owner, events, creation data, last access data, extension type and modification date. With this information, users can take a first pass at eliminating ROT data as well as create automated policies for its archive, migration or deletion.

“The Aparavi platform continues to be a valuable asset to organizations looking to transform data into a competitive asset,” said Adrian Knapp, Founder and CEO of Aparavi. “We are looking to transform our company’s success into something much more and I believe that Jerrod and Barry are two of the people who can help us do that. With their background and experience in delivering IT resources to companies worldwide, we can leverage those capabilities to propel the Aparavi Platform into a greater number of use cases to ultimately help fuel innovation and accelerate knowledge everywhere.”
