GEC NEWS WIREExtracting and Leveraging Information from Collected Data is Key to Success in New Era of ‘Dark Data’, Says IT Consultancy, Condo Protego
The world’s exponential data growth will be felt in the GCC more strongly than ever in 2016, forcing organizations to more intelligently plan how they choose to keep and use their information.
Two trends for 2016 involving increasing data volumes are the growth of ‘dark data’ and the creation of the ‘databerg’, according to Condo Protego.
“We expect dark data management will be a top priority for GCC businesses in 2016, as ‘databergs’ grow to seemingly unmanageable levels, and we are counseling our customers to think longer term about what data they really need to keep, how they can better access it, and why it is so important for them to deploy business analytics to realize competitive advantage in their respective industries,” says Andrew Calthorpe, CEO of Condo Protego.
“2015 has been an eventful year for the IT industry, with the Symantec and Veritas split, and the EMC-Dell merger, each presenting an array of opportunities for businesses in the region, amid advancing cyber-threats, and the challenges in the growth of dark data which we expect will continue to accelerate throughout 2016,” adds Calthorpe.
Condo Protego currently holds Platinum Partner status, the highest level of partnership, with Veritas, and a prestigious Tier 1 status in EMC’s Business Partner Program.
