IT Sets Information Delivery Into Motion with Enterprise Search Technology
October 15, 2012
Big Data has caused a chain reaction in the business world and new software developments have required IT departments to scramble to keep up and re-establish their importance. Why? Innovative information intelligence platforms can now perform and replace basic IT functions and increase company ROI by cutting man-hour costs.
Despite the proven efficiency of programming, Information Age’s article “The New Business Intelligence” feels that some human intervention is still needed to maintain quality control:
The IT department is still responsible for maintaining the consistency of data, imposing common data definitions, and incorporating new sources of data, so that as businesses change, users will still have the data they need to get their jobs done. There needs to be the kind of collaboration between the business and IT that means that, even if IT is not directly involved in a BI deployment, there has at least been the opportunity for IT professionals to stress the importance of governance and data quality.
Information intelligence software would require the company’s individual criteria to be programmed in order to function efficiently and generate ROI, so the article was somewhat on point. However, once the parameters are set, IT can take a vacation with software solutions such as PolySpot in place as their technology delivers information.
