The Information Gap Era

One key factor to success is the ability to make the right innovative decision, every time, everywhere, based on the right information. But the overload of data (without even talking at this stage about the various problems linked to its reconciliation) tends to kill the information (too much information kills information says the proverb) and it's becoming today's most critical challenge to be addressed in order to take the appropriate decision.

The challenge of gathering and saving data has been progressively replaced by the the need to analyze data and generate the relevant information. Hardware and Software manufacturers have demonstrated long their ability to handle a gigantic amount of data, but the question of analyzing it is so far unsolved thus leading to an Information Gap.

We believe the Information Gap between the Information Users and the Data Providers has always existed. Nevertheless, with the advent of the Big Data, the multiplication of sources internally and externally, the increasing complexity of the involved systems on one side, and the raising needs of the Information Users in terms of speed and complexity on the other side, this gap has never been so big and is expected to widen. This Information Gap impacts all levels of organisations with various consequences for the users who need to take Strategic Business Decisions based on facts and not on assumptions. At a macroscopic level we've seen the results of such gaps with the recent financial crisis, but the phenomenon is much more global and concerns every aspects of our Business Life. Deployments Factory is a consulting company dealing with large scale projects and information overload issues.
