Billions of dollars worth of structured and unstructured data exist in content management systems, file servers, web sites, partner networks and business applications. Like a mosaic, with missing or broken pieces, decision makers are unable to see the total picture of an organization if their information infrastructure does not provide for a unified view capable of accessing all available information.
Current information delivery efforts are typically ineffective in presenting these pieces of information as a clear picture. End users struggle to find information inside the organization and are unable to make the best decisions in a timely manner. Why is that?
- No Unified View. There are many content interfaces which can create confusion and complexity. Information is scattered and end users must search in multiple places to locate all the information they require to make business decisions.
- Lack of Interface Requirements. There are no clearly defined use cases for information to support the business objectives and essential end-user interface requirements.
- No Intuitive End User Display. Due to inconsistent taxonomy and multiple content sources, information is not easily consolidated into an intuitive, single view and logical connections to information are not made clear to end users.
