Actionable Smart Data
Defining Actionable Smart Data
What exactly is Actionable Smart Data? It's data that's enlightened. Beyond just bits and bytes, Actionable Smart Data is imbued with metadata that explains its origin, format, location, and relevance. With AI Data Processing, data doesn't just exist; it narrates its story. By turning underutilized Dark Data [Dumb Data] into Actionable Smart Data, your organization can harness the dual benefits of reduced storage costs and unearthed business insights - providing for enhanced decision-making, improved operational efficiency, and a culture of innovation.
Dark Data: An Untapped Treasure
Big Data has long been established as the new gold in the modern business world. It drives decisions, unveils opportunities, and is fundamental to innovation. However, a startling amount, up to 80%, of this Big Data remains unexplored and untapped. This unused and unanalyzed data, often termed as 'Dark Data,' lies dormant in every organization's legacy storage spaces, silently accruing escalating costs and providing risk without delivering any value. There is a wealth of customer insight, process innovation, and cost savings that can be unlocked if this Dark Data can be effectively identified and utilized as Actionable Smart Data..
Dark Data: A Growing Problem for Legacy Storage Solutions
The influx of Big Data from a myriad of sources, both internal and external, has been nothing short of overwhelming. Big Data, while teeming with potential, also brings forth challenges. The sheer volume, coupled with a lack of enriched metadata, makes it a daunting task to determine the data's ownership, evaluate risks, understand business relevance, and select suitable storage methods. As Big Data accrues, so do costs and risks, burdening your organization without any substantial return on this data investment.
From Dumb Data to Actionable Smart Data: The Revolution of Ai Data Processing
AI Data Processing's Data Detect tool is the beacon in this data deluge. It recognizes the hidden value in dormant Dumb Data and converts it into Actionable Smart Data. With seamless integration of cutting-edge algorithms and intuitive Data Management workflows, Ai Smart Data Processing enables your organization to classify, centralize, and control its data. It provides a holistic solution that addresses compliance, eDiscovery, ROT, risk, and strategic utilization [while dramatically reducing data storage costs].
The Challenges of Redundant, Obsolete, and Trivial Data [ROT]
A closer look at most organizations' data portfolios reveals an alarming fact: nearly 30% of their Big Data is ROT. While ROT may sound benign, it's a leech, draining resources without any return. It also represents risk; retaining unneeded data can cause legal issues, regulatory fines, and more. The urgency to address ROT becomes paramount in an age where reducing IT expenses is not just a goal but a necessity.
Actionable Smart Data: A Solution for Today and Tomorrow
AI Data Processing empowers your organization to pierce through the Big Data fog, identify ROT, and manage it effectively. Advanced algorithms identify, classify, and profile data, differentiating the valuable from the trivial. This clarity fosters efficient data management, aids in crafting effective cloud migration strategies, and ensures that every byte of data truly counts [while dramatically reducing data storage costs].
AI Data Processing’s unique value proposition starts with transforming unactionable Unstructured Data into Actionable Smart Data.
By converting unidentified and Dark Data into Actionable Smart Data, your organization gains actionable insights, enhanced security, and improved data quality. With the power of self-aware data at your disposal, your organization can unlock the full potential of its enriched data assets and properly dispose of ROT and re-tier its storage for dramatic data storage cost savings.
Actionable Smart Data [ASD] is enriched data that carries with it information about its creation, ownership, type, access, format, location, bias, relevance, risk, and value.
