The valuation of data as an asset

There is a case to argue that if companies managed their finances as badly as they manage their data, they would probably be out of business by now. Data used to be confined within firewalls and systems but in the digital age, it is ’happening’ everywhere.

In this world of ’Big Data’, having the right data available at the right time is crucial; and it is an imperative that has moved far beyond the remit of IT alone.

Total Data™

Data is everywhere, it proliferates everything in the modern enterprise. Yet the treatment of data can be far from consistent. Big Data has been little more than the characterisation of a particular problem type with a number of point solutions to quite specific problems.

Using unstructured data as an annotation of structured to improve retieval, interpretation and reuse

The ability to communicate efficiently and effectively across the extended enterprise has led to great advances in the way we conduct business. Information can be shared almost instantaneously with colleagues in distant locations and can be compiled and collated from a wide variety of sources to provide a detailed analysis of operations, markets and opportunities. Approaches such as Business Intelligence and Data Mining allow us to monitor the performance of organisations and infer fresh insight from stores of operational data and information. Despite these advances, however, there is a fundamental flaw in the way we store and retrieve information; one which is preventing organisations from gaining as much value as they could from the data they hold.

The rise and rise of Data empire: How to prevent the Fall!

Data ‘happens’. It used to be confined within our firewalls and systems but now it is ‘happening’ everywhere. Data is ubiquitous, but not glorious. It is a small word with big ramifications; the visible tip of a sprawling, submerged iceberg. It is an area which has been complicated in the past by too many words and unhelpful definitions. Data management has always been problematical, but if it was difficult before, it is perceived as nigh on impossible now. Most organisations are in a mess with data and no amount of bottom-up initiatives in data governance, data management, regulatory compliance or information exploitation are going to fix this. Yet, at the end of the day, data is a corporate asset. Why not adopt a simpler approach and treat it like any other corporate asset?

Big data -it’s just data, isn’t it?

The whole point of data is to form the basis for decision making. In business, decisions are instrumental in achieving the business goals. Managing data is a ‘big’ problem; but does giving it the new ‘big data’ name help today’s CIO to understand and deal with it? Or does it obfuscate an already complex area?
