Market Drivers
Like other corporate assets, information is valuable - information
is the lifeblood of any complex organization. Companies rely
on all kinds of information, including financial reports,
text documents, audio and video files, graphics, messages
and transactions, to drive the decisions and activities that
create growth and success.
The challenge of today's economy is to successfully pull
together large amounts of this disparate information from
many different sources, including mainframes, databases, and
the Internet, enhance its value, and deliver it in a usable
format to the people who need it. Businesses have realized
that collecting and analyzing unrefined data creates valuable
and reusable assets for smarter business decisions and increased
profit margins.
Ascential Software enables the global 2000 to leverage raw
information by identifying and supporting the five essential
steps involved in total Information Asset Management: collection,
validation, organization, administration, and delivery. Each
of these steps is supported by Ascential's platform independent
Information Asset Management solutions.
