Overcoming Challenges of Siloed Data (and Thinking)
“One of the ongoing challenges to realizing the insights in big data is that it sits in separate silos – data warehouses, content stores, information feeds and social media, and represents the everyday interaction of human minds,” said Jeremy Bentley, CEO, Smartlogic. “With TopQuadrant’s proven expertise in data virtualization and Smartlogic’s content intelligence, this alliance will deliver a unified view over all the information relevant to the enterprise, regardless of location or type.”
Building on Current Capabilities to Enable Anticipatory Action
TopQuadrant’s solutions integrate structured data while Smartlogic’s solutions describe, extract and analyze information locked up in unstructured data. A combined solution lets customers treat their information as a whole so they can use their information assets in a unified, consistent manner in order to gain significant economic advantage.
Specifically, TopQuadrant’s TopBraid Insight enables a virtual data warehouse in a fraction of the time it takes to build a traditional data mart, and the TopBraid platform powers data governance and information exchange. Smartlogic’s Semaphore makes all the human intelligence locked up in content available for use. By combining these systems, the partnership offers a unified information platform without the need to rip and replace any existing data or content systems. Enterprises can now consistently connect all of their information resulting in enhanced discovery, better reporting (and compliance), new insights and ultimately faster and smarter action.
Future of Information
“Bringing together our respective complementary capabilities more closely fulfills the promise of meaningfully integrated information than any solution existing today,” said Irene Polikoff, CEO, TopQuadrant. “We look forward to moving toward more extensive interoperability that combines both parties’ capabilities in ways that respond to customer needs.”
