Reducing Time-to-Knowledge Across Your Enterprise Information Management System
Eighty percent of an organization’s business content is unstructured — information in files, messages, memos, reports, and proposals created in different formats and stored in many locations. This flood of information begs to be put in context — to be filtered through and be made available to those who need it in a format that is meaningful to them. Only then will the full value of organizational knowledge assets be realized. Add to this the need to include structured data — from business systems, CRM and ERP packages, legacy data stores, and custom databases — and the challenge deepens.
The need to manage ever-increasing amounts of information is critical. In today’s harsh economic climate, information and intellectual capital are the keys to generating new and lucrative opportunities.
