We are all drowning in information. Teams, SharePoint, emails, servers, chat boxes, archives, business tools\u2026Modern work has become a navigation exercise in an ocean of data. We store it, share it, duplicate it, search for it , sometimes in vain. We lose hours trying to retrieve a document. And sometimes end up recreating it because we no longer know which version is the right one.<\/p>\n

This is the daily reality of organisations, small or large. Perhaps it is your daily reality too?<\/p>\n

It is, in any case, the symptom of a deeper disorder: information chaos.<\/p>\n

This is precisely the problem Exquando, an Agoria member company specialised in information management, has been tackling for more than 16 years. At its head: Marc Ansoult, a bioengineer and PhD in science, who previously worked in Brussels Airport\u2019s IT department, at Capgemini and even in the space sector.<\/p>\n

He explains, simply and convincingly, what leads an organisation to eventually say: \u201cwe can\u2019t cope anymore.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When do companies call Exquando?<\/h3>\n

\u201cWhen someone reaches breaking point<\/em>\u201d, Marc Ansoult says. The tipping point is clear: everything works\u2026 until it doesn\u2019t. Lost documents, wrong versions, contradictory procedures, poorly used tools, leading to wrong decisions and sometimes even accidents.<\/p>\n

The trigger often comes painfully:<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically, when there is too much information, people can\u2019t find it anymore, they recreate it, they lose time. That\u2019s when they realise: we have a problem<\/em>.\u201d \u2014 Marc Ansoult<\/p>\n

Surprising but revealing: organisations do not lack technological tools. They lack organisation. In many structures, information is a common good with no owner. \u201cEveryone uses it. No one manages it<\/em>\u201d Marc explains.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exquando does not install software; it puts information back at the centre<\/h3>\n

\u201cThere are already enough software tools on the market<\/em>\u201d, Marc says. The goal is not to sell one more. It is to learn how to use the ones already available, and above all, to organise and define who manages what.<\/p>\n

To do this, Exquando\u2019s offer relies on three pillars:<\/p>\n
