The Data Management Forum is currently operating three initiative-based workgroups:

• The Data Protection Initiative is defining new approaches and best practices for data protection and recovery.
• The Information Lifecycle Management Initiative is promoting a unifying vision of what ILM will become and its impact on the datacenter.
• The Long Term Archive and Compliance Storage Initiative is focused on the challenges of long-term digital information retention and storage compliance.
