Unstructured Data Challenge: An Infographic Does the Job
May 29, 2015
Search and content processing vendors talk about their systems’ handling structured and unstructured data. One outfit thinks that the challenge is unstructured information. After decades of floudering, the search sector lacks a solution that makes accountants and users beam with happiness.
What’s the fix?
According to “Meeting the Challenge of Unsructured Data,” the unstructured data speed bumps can be resolved by realizing there are challenges. The fix begins with realizing that one may not be prepared for them, which is like showing up for Marine boot camp in formal wear.
The inforgraphic does a good job of presenting the issues which most organiations are not willing to shift from the business of making money to the business of dealing with lots of email, PowerPoints, and Web pages.
For example, the infographic asserts:
- Big data comes from many sources, and Big Data come in many shapes, sizes, and colors
- Network loads with go up in 24 months
- 60 percent of organizations are ready for “the surge in network traffic.”
Okay, let’s step back.
At this time, most sentient managers know that there is a great deal of unstructured information in their organization. Most managers are not able to find information in a way that makes them emulate a happy face. Accountants wrinkle their baby smooth foreheads when tallying up the costs for digital information storage, findability, maintenance, and unbudgeted expenses to get the existing systems to do their often weak kneed thing.
These challenges are truisms.
My question: “When will innovations have an impact on these challenges?” Based on progress in the last few decades, solutions will arrive with marketing parades. The results, in my view, will be the same old issues: User cannot locate the information requjired to make their work a doddle.
It is easier to identify deal breakers than unbreak the deals. It is easier to use jargon to help close deals than provide solutions that deal with information challenges.
One does not meet the challenges of unstructured data with lists of facts that make clear that today’s solutions are not, shall we say, efficacious.
