The increasing digitization of information, combined with multiple vehicles that bring them to you and take information from you, can be overwhelming. Datamation brought this thought to us in their article, “Big Data: 9 Steps to Extract Insight from Unstructured Data.”
The pace of digital information is growing every day. According to industry researcher Gartner, about 80% of data held by an organization is unstructured data, consisting largely of information gathered from customer calls, emails, and social media feeds.
This growth of data, along with the added pressure to make records management user-friendly, leaves many organizations looking for outside help and alternatives.
One way to ensure findability, even with big data issues, is through a taxonomy. A standards-based taxonomy can help you provides clear order to your data, which enables comprehensive search results. Standards are key to a solid taxonomy and comprehensive indexing.
