Current Solutions for Unstructured Data

by Brian J. Dooley

Unstructured data, particularly text, makes up at least 80% of all corporate data and an incalculable amount of potentially relevant data on the Web. As we explore in this Executive Report by Brian J. Dooley, developing the capability to mine these information stores and apply the data to business processes is an imperative. Analysis must meet real business needs, however, and must coexist with and contribute to information developed from structured data in data warehouses. Emerging technologies and processes are beginning to make this possible, opening the way for a wide range of important capabilities and consequences.
