Unstructured Information Has Many Possibilities and Dangers
December 31, 2012
Unstructured information has been piling up for years and it was not until the Big Data boom of early 2012 did people really begin to see its hidden potential. Like a huge boulder rolling down hill, unstructured information uses have taken off and businesses are doing their best to take advantage of the new information streams. There are many cases, however, where businesses do not know the first place to begin. OpenText has caught onto this need and they have started a new series: “Introducing the OpenText CEO White Paper Series.” The first paper was only recently published (talk about fresh) and OpenText’s CEO Mark J. Barrenechea wrote it. Here is a brief explanation about what to expect from the new series:
“’Each corporate information asset represents both risk and value to today’s organization. Every email is a potential smoking gun and every contract the potential solution to a costly litigation. At the same time, unstructured information is today’s oil, and being able to capture, preserve, manage, and capitalize on it is the next frontier of competitive business. EIM acts as a force multiplier in helping organizations unlock the untapped value of unstructured information, while complying with regulatory requirements and ensuring that corporate data is safe.’”
OpenText, we are waiting for more to come out. People need this information for their Big Data projects. Think of it as structured and unstructured information for dummies.
