nRoad launches new platform for enterprises to leverage unstructured data

Across the enterprise ecosystem, employees are building a bottomless data lake, premised on the corporate mantra to "save everything, just in case," according to an article published in Gartner. Alan Dayley, a former research director at Gartner, notes that increased data growth over the past decade has created an unstructured data nightmare. "It's not just the cost to store it. Huge volumes of dark data make it harder to find what is useful and may mean we miss business opportunities," says Dayley. Mike Gualtieri, VP and principal analyst at Forrester notes in an article that between 60% and 73% of all data within an enterprise goes unused for analytics.
