      1Managing Massive Unstructured Data Troves: 10 Best Practices

      1 - Managing Massive Unstructured Data Troves: 10 Best Practices

      by Chris Preimesberger

      2Think of Data Management Beyond Volume and Velocity

      2 - Think of Data Management Beyond Volume and Velocity

      With the variety of data sources exploding exponentially, this important addition should be at the forefront of a data management project.

      3Determine a Broader Business Objective and Insight

      3 - Determine a Broader Business Objective and Insight

      Any data management project should begin with a primary business goal, which dictates how the data is analyzed and correlated.

      4Audit Where Your Data Resides

      4 - Audit Where Your Data Resides

      Organizations are facing exponentially growing varieties of data from emails, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, CRM systems, databases, file shares, communities, social media and so on. The full data landscape across channels must be uncovered before correlating the data into any relevant insight.

      5Stop Moving Data Around

      5 - Stop Moving Data Around

      Historically, the remedy for disparate data was to move it to a centralized data warehouse. But moving the data is a huge task, and these centralized data warehouses quickly turn to legacy systems and an increasingly complex data environment.

      6Eliminate Replicated Data

      6 - Eliminate Replicated Data

      Replication happens when data is moved to seemingly eliminate complexity. It often leads to a more complex problem where duplicate data is now housed in multiple places. Companies should seek out duplicate data and remove it, when possible.

      7Index the Data Where It Resides

      7 - Index the Data Where It Resides

      Indexing technology reaches, consolidates and correlates all data and information sources, wherever they reside, securely.

      8Correlate Similar Data Across All Systems

      8 - Correlate Similar Data Across All Systems

      This process uncovers critical information relationships that previously couldn’t be discovered. They’re some of the most powerful insights you can uncover.

      9Use the Index to Find Relevant Organizational Experts

      9 - Use the Index to Find Relevant Organizational Experts

      Every company has subject-matter experts. When indexing aggregates all available work by an individual, experts are defined by true contribution—not a static profile.

      10Turn Data Into Insight

      10 - Turn Data Into Insight

      Data on its own is meaningless. By combining data points, users have complete visibility into all systems and access to subject-matter experts, and can uncover correlations previously unknown. This creates new insights needed to solve complex business problems.

      11Turn the Insight Into ROI

      11 - Turn the Insight Into ROI

      Knowledge becomes a highly valuable asset when leveraged to make critical business decisions. This leads to greater returns on a data management investment.
