CIO OPINION collected . Petabytes of data and billions of files are now the norm in many enterprises and current tools are not built to handle this .
Consider the following :
Unstructured data ’ s hidden value Is revealed when :
Secondly , multi-vendor / hybrid-cloud environments mean complex interoperability between different systems . These complexities make the movement of data between these systems a science project using current tools .
Then there is the concern for data integrity . Most enterprises live in a world of some form of regulation where data loss , data corruption , or data exposure , could cause serious business damage .
Current unstructured data management tools provide nothing in the way of data integrity management . And so the list goes on . Luckily , there is a solution .
With the right tools , organizations can fill this gap and take control of their unstructured data and exploit its untapped value .
So , the best question to ask is not : ‘ How can I claw my way to the top of my unstructured data pile ?’ Rather it is : ‘ How can an unstructured data management solution make sense of my data and put it to work for me ?’
Laying the groundwork is critical as is the close partnership between the enterprise and its services partners who can help identify and implement the company ’ s top priorities .
• Unstructured data becomes the fulcrum of enterprise-focused decision-making and is operationalized to yield its highest value .
• Enterprises are enabled to realize the value of their expanding universe of unstructured data through frictionless access , vendor-neutral and infinitely scalable solutions .
• Unstructured data sources and types are combined for a broader enterprise view to yield deeper insights , and more – often unexpected – answers to multifaceted or hypothetical questions .
• Organizational data fabric is flexible enough to balance and meet the needs of individual business units alongside the greater enterprise needs .
• Enterprises enable a holistic view of their unstructured data ( the sum of its siloed parts ) by granting cross-organizational access .
• Cross-functional analysis sheds light on operational inefficiencies to be addressed ,
Current unstructured data management tools provide nothing in the way of data integrity management .
