Organisations are drowning in information. Documents, images, audio files, emails all piling up in fragmented systems. The challenge isn’t just volume; it’s how to manage, secure, access, and extract value from that content.

At Principal, we believe that mastering content isn’t optional it’s essential if you want agility, compliance, and productivity. In our whitepaper Creating Order in a World of Content Chaos, we lay out the core pain points that trip organisations up and how Content Services can turn chaos into clarity.

The Top Content Hurdles Getting in Your Way

From the whitepaper, here are some of the biggest issues businesses are facing today:

Speed and ease of access

Team members often waste hours searching for files across different systems. In fact, one study showed employees spend an average of 7.4 hours per week just trying to find information.

Compliance with data regulations

With GDPR and other data laws, organisations must track, retain, and purge sensitive documents properly. But 65% of organisations admit they struggle to manage time-sensitive or personal data effectively.

Securing sensitive data & managing access

It’s not enough to store content you must control who sees what, and ensure content is encrypted and protected.

Siloed data systems

Disconnected repositories make it impossible to get a unified view of your content assets.

Delivering a positive user experience

If your users can’t retrieve content quickly or easily, adoption suffers, frustration grows, and ROI drops.

Disposing of data

Data retention rules demand that old or irrelevant content is archived or destroyed properly. Many organisations lack visibility or control over that lifecycle.

These challenges don’t merely slow you down they can erode trust, expose you to regulatory fines, and hamper growth.

How Principal Tackles Content Chaos with Content Services

Content Services is the strategic, next-generation approach to information management. Rather than relying on point solutions, we help clients build systems that:

1. Capture content intelligently (not just digitise)
2. Manage and govern content centrally
3. Connect content to workflows and systems
4. Enable reporting and insight
5. Scale and adapt across the entire organisation

This approach helps turn your content from a liability into a business asset accessible, secure, governed, and ready to drive value.

Why You Should Act Now

-  The amount of content organisations must manage is only going to increase

-  Manual, paper-based processes won’t keep up

-  The risks of non-compliance and data breaches rise every day

-  Your workforce will thank you when they can actually find what they need

If content is holding your business back, it’s time for a change.
