Executive Summary
The current information management tools and techniques have not kept pace with the dramatic growth of data within the enterprise. Much of this new data is represented in an unstructured or semi-structured format. The volume of the data makes it unmanageable by humans and the structure of the data makes it unavailable for machine processing. This has created a situation where information is now hidden or lost within the enterprise. This lost information has a significant business impact in the form of unmanaged risk and lost opportunities for revenue or savings.
