HP Bridges Human Information and Extreme Data to Drive Insight, Foresight, Action

New HP Information Optimization solutions power Instant-On Enterprises

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec. 2, 2011 – HP today extended its Information Optimization portfolio with new solutions that help Instant-On Enterprises turn information, intuition and ideas into insights to drive better decision making.

An explosion of data is being driven by new sources that challenge traditional methods for storing and analyzing information. Today, only 15 percent of data is found in structured formats that computers understand. “Human Information,” data found in video, audio, email, texts, social media and more accounts for 85 percent of the world’s data and provides richer meaning by consisting of ideas and concepts. In addition, the growing amount of “extreme information,” generated from sensors and tags provide new opportunities for organizations to exploit. This full continuum of data presents real challenges to today’s enterprises.

New research conducted on behalf of HP reveals that one out of three executives in the Asia Pacific and Japan region indicated that more than half of the information within their organization remains unconnected, undiscovered and unusable.(1)

One out of two executives surveyed indicated that their organizations lack an effective information strategy that cuts across organizational silos, technologies and strategic functions. In addition, only 1 percent of surveyed executives said their organizations can deliver the right information at the right time to support the right business outcomes 100 percent of the time.

“Exploiting information across its many forms is the next big wave to drive competitive advantage,” said TF Chong, Managing Director, HP Malaysia. “Until now, enterprises were tied to only using 15 percent of the data available to them. With HP’s strong portfolio of Information Optimization solutions, enterprises can harness the power of 100 percent of their data to drive insight, foresight and action.”

HP’s Next Generation Information Platform
The HP Next Generation Information Platform – IDOL 10 enables organizations to automatically understand and act on a combination of human and extreme information by identifying ideas and patterns in place and in real time. The combination of an information processing layer from Autonomy, an HP Company, with a high-performance real-time analytics engine from Vertica, an HP Company, allows organizations to analyze 100 percent of unstructured, semistructured and structured information in a consistent, uniform way.

HP Social Intelligence Solution and Advanced Information Services for Vertica
The HP Social Intelligence Solution helps organizations harness unstructured data generated in social media channels to optimize the customer experience, manage brand reputation, empower resources, as well as drive product innovation.

In addition, HP Advanced Information Services for Vertica accelerate the implementation of the Vertica Analytics Platform, which analyzes structured, semistructured, and unstructured data on a massive scale to quickly gain critical business insight.
