Why Is Dark Unstructured Data Important for Analytics?

If you are only analyzing structured data in data silos, your organization could be missing out on major opportunities to harness data value in huge hidden data stores containing operational insights, cost and resource data, pricing, department and agency interactions, and other key data information and assets.

According to a 2017 Deloitte Tech Trends Report on “Dark Data: Illuminating Opportunities Hidden within Structured Data,” organizations have only explored a tiny fraction of the data universe for analytics value. And what’s more, Deloitte cited IDC projection that organizations that analyze all relevant data and deliver actionable information might achieve an extra $430 billion in productivity gains over their peers who may not tap into their hidden data. That’s a pretty big incentive to find the right tools to light up your dark data.

Traditional unstructured can include emails, notes, messages, documents, logs and notifications from IoT devices that don’t live in a relational database. Unstructured data estimates from IDC and other sources cite at least 80% of data may be unstructured and hidden. Nontraditional unstructured can include audio and video files and still images, among other non-text formats.

Without knowing what you have, you can’t effectively tap into these valuable data stores to mine them for valuable planning and operational value.

But there is a solution. Know what data you have so you can analyze the whole picture of your data estate and harvest value from what you already own.
