Information Overload

As the world is becoming increasingly interconnected, intelligent and instrumented, more sensors are placed throughout the world to capture the data.

While more information is available to enterprises, less of the data is being effectively captured, managed, analyzed and made available to the people who need it. Enterprises can’t keep pace.

Data matters because everything from traffic to utilities to healthcare information can be captured, monitored and analyzed for insight.
