What is Data Management?
Data Management is the process of organizing and making data useful. But as enterprises generate exponentially more unstructured content—documents, videos, presentations, and more—traditional approaches are failing.
IdeaFORGE improves upon Master Data Management principles by providing unstructured data management (UDM) as a service. The platform not only organizes existing data but enables the creation of valuable new content through modular IdeaBlocks.
"Converting unstructured data into structured format requires fundamental business transformation—ultimately yielding faster organizations with better understanding of critical business information and significant cost savings."
Understanding Data Types
The three major data categories—and why unstructured data is your biggest opportunity.
Structured Data
Data contained within fixed fields in records or files—easily sorted, filtered, organized, and managed.
Examples
- Contact forms (Name, Email, Phone)
- CRM records
- Database tables
- Spreadsheets
Traditional tools struggle when boundaries between data elements become unclear.
Semi-Structured Data
Emerges when metadata tags and reference information are added to unstructured content—a partial solution.
Examples
- Tagged documents
- XML/JSON files
- Email with metadata
- Social media posts
Limited application beyond basic keyword analysis—like a band-aid on a 6-inch wound.
Unstructured Data
The biggest challenge facing IT executives. Diverse formats generated continuously across the enterprise.
Examples
- Written text
- Presentations
- Video content
- Technical documents
- RFPs
- Images
Requires fundamental business transformation to convert into structured, usable format.
