Maximizing the Enterprise Information Investment
The need for fast, accurate access to precise and relevant information has never been more essential to the enterprise. To stay competitive in today’s rapidly changing, information-intensive environment, companies need to improve customer service, accelerate new products into the market, and leverage their investments in information and technology to add to the bottom line. To accomplish this, enterprise workers must have the ability to quickly and easily locate the precise information they need, when they need it, to get their jobs done.
We live in a world of unstructured data: word processing documents, email, presentations, intranet content, news feeds and Web pages that make up as much as 85% of all enterprise information. Organizing unstructured data—much less retrieving what you need on demand—is a difficult process because it requires understanding of the human languages and the work context of enterprise workers. The Internet and intranet-based systems in place today, no matter how fast or powerful, don’t provide what businesses need to categorize, index and manage the huge volume of unstructured data they deal with every day. And, to add to the complexity, the volume of information continually increases.
The challenge is to find an efficient method for working with vast amounts of information, a way that enables computers to help humans find and research information. Such a method must readily locate, analyze and organize documents based on their context and relationships, and apply intelligence and insight to the process of discovering and delivering key information to users when it’s needed.
Maximizing the Information Investment
For companies to take full advantage of the information that they depend on and distribute to their customers, suppliers, partners and employees, they must implement an integrated unstructured data management solution that is able to search, analyze, categorize and disseminate relevant information—in multiple languages—quickly, precisely and efficiently.
Today, most approaches for organizing and managing unstructured data are predominantly manual. They are not scalable or capable of delivering timely and accurate information to users. What is needed is a comprehensive system that provides the necessary infrastructure for optimizing the process of managing unstructured information for quick access and effective utilization.
The key to managing unstructured information is metatext—a type of metadata that identifies the content and context of text data. Automatically extracting metatext from documents allows for the implementation of numerous services that allow users to quickly find and use the precise information needed to be more effective in their jobs.
A complete solution to effectively automate the data discovery and delivery process should include methods to:
- Classify all unstructured data into well-organized business categories so it is easier to focus on what is relevant, and ignore what is not.;
- Unlock the details in the text—people, places, things, events, actions and relationships—to gain insights previously hidden away.;
- Explore data with interactive visual- and text-based browsing tools—no sifting through page after page of mostly irrelevant search results. Immediately access the precise information needed.;
- Integrate global data—process text data in all major languages.;
The optimal solution will allow organizations to garner the maximum value from their technology and information investments by incorporating all of their unstructured data into existing systems such as enterprise portals, document and content management systems, business intelligence and CRM applications.
