Information Management without Enterprise Search is nothing but storage

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Olivier MICHEL 

The goal of Information Management is to provide the right people with the right information at the right time.

Unfortunately, as stated in an article published in Apprapids blog , for many companies, information management is just about storing data in a datawarehouse.

The question is: why invest in storing information if we cannot find the information we need at the right time?

Gilles André, CEO of PolySpot, wrote an article about the 21 minutes that employees waste every single day looking for information that they know exists.

As Stephen E. Arnold observed : “Information warehouses and business intelligence applications are preventing data from being actionable” and some companies miss the point of their initial interest in Information Management. “Allowing access to information across the entire enterprise is the first step in making informational management operational”, conclude Stephen E. Arnold.

Breaking information silos to allow access to information across the entire enterprise is the first step in making information management operational. Integrating an agile search infrastructure will allow each employee to find the document or piece of information they need wherever it is located.

Finally, to make the most of their data, companies need applications that analyse and transform data into actionable insights. PolySpot Information At Work enables data to be converted into knowledge thanks to its enrichment module, PolySpot Sense Builder, asynchronous structuring and semantic enrichment platform.
