Unstructured data offers a vast store of untapped BI value
By Garth Wittles   
Traditional business intelligence (BI) vendors tend to agree that clean data is essential to analysis and reporting. But GARTH WITTLES, district manager for Verity in South Africa, believes organisations are losing a huge amount of information if they rigidly apply this approach to data gathering and analysis. Typically 20% of an organisation's data is structured, which means that it can be used in BI data analysis. The remaining 80% is usually cast aside and is not factored into the analysis and reporting that business executives find so crucial to making decisions.
