About this event
There is no shortage of commentary in the press, industry news media, and research and advisory companies like Gartner on the challenges organisations face in getting value from data.
Data management fell out of fashion in the early 2000s, with technology vendors promising to better look after the data. An application-centric view of data developed, and the perspective of data as an enterprise resource was lost. As a result, today data analysts and scientists spend 80% of their time getting data from multiple sources into shape for analysis.
Now that the importance of data management is being recognised, the inconvenient reality is that it will take some time before structured data will meet business demands across all use cases after years of neglect. Difficult choices need to be made about what to focus on.
Overlooked is that 80% of all the data held is unstructured, and it is essentially an untapped resource. Text is also the primary mode of communication between customers and other external parties and all business areas within an organisation. Using AI for the human-like understanding provides an out-of-the-box way of gaining value from data for knowledge discovery and process automation.
Attend this presentation and gain an understanding of:
• The structured data challenges faced by organisations today
• How the use of practical AI technology using Natural Language Understanding (NLU) can help today make all unstructured data actionable
• How leveraging unstructured data can provide the focus for the development of structured data.
