Unified Information Access Delivers Growth and Development Opportunities for Businesses
December 25, 2012
Studies or surveys that look into how we utilize time spent at work are inherently valuable since they relate to time, which we all know is money. Venture Beat published an article on the topic of productivity and what does and does not kill it. “When Big Data is a Big Waste of Time…And Powerpoint is Worse for Productivity than a Martini at Lunch” reports on information gleaned from a survey done by business analytic app maker Roambi.
The subjects of the survey were broad: business data, analytics and office life. However, these topics ultimately point to productivity and business growth.
The article states:
And, more than 50 percent of business data is locked away in inaccessible or unfriendly formats, resisting executives’ efforts to review, learn, and react to the most important information in their companies…For instance, 21 percent of those executives said that they could only review and derive value from 10-15 percent of their business data. Another 29.6 percent said they could see and act on between 25 and 50 percent of their business data. For 10 percent, key business data was simply inaccessible.
It is important to note that Roambi surveyed their own customers and their survey said that data was inaccessible. Is there a correlation between using Roambi and not being able to access key data? That is precisely what they have led readers to conclude. To address inaccessible data, companies need to look no farther than PolySpot and their unified information access infrastructure component.
