Data growth is running at close to seven exabytes per day; estimates are that in three to five years’ time, growth will be closer to 15 to 25 exabytes per day. Yet many organizations fail to realize the business value of their data, lack the tools and processes to collect and analyze data more effectively, and do not understand how to calculate its return on investment (ROI) potential.

In the white paper, Operational Data: A Roadmap to Value Creation, author Professor Paul Tallon of Loyola University introduces the concept of data as a strategic asset and describes how data-driven organizations can successfully turn data into calculated, verifiable value.
