Information used to be a river, flowing in one predictable direction with a visible source. No more.
Today, it's an ocean of data, constantly expanding its shores. In fact, nearly 15 petabytes of data are created every day. It can be a daunting task for any enterprise to sift through massive amounts of data, extract information and transform it into actionable knowledge. But action without analysis is just guessing.
The globally integrated enterprise needs something more powerful. Today's information management tools offer situational awareness and predictive abilities. This "new intelligence" combines human cognition with computational power, shifting the agenda from "sense and respond" to situational awareness and something very much like prediction.
New intelligence gives you more than a window into your current operations. It provides a likely view of what is just around the corner and even further down the road. Analytics and reporting tools slice and dice data, crystallising trends, patterns and anomalies that yield invaluable business insights to help you drive smarter decision-making.
