The data dilemma: quality vs. quantity
18 February 2024The beginning of the data volume boom
18 February 2024The process of integrating data into application and database systems is based on the collection of information from various departments and expert professionals who are constantly searching for the data they need and transferring it in a processed form to systems and programs.
The system of information retrieval and transfer resembles a complex forest network of mushroom mycelium, where managers act as guides directinginformation to the right systems, ensuring its constant efficient flow, relevance and availability.
Each of a company's systems, consisting of a set of tools or solutions, is a knowledge tree, rooted in the soil of raw data and branching out to bear fruit in the form of deliverables. Systems, like trees, interact and communicate with each other, representing a complex and well-structured system where each branch and leaf does not simply represent a different type of data or process, but is part of a larger, interconnected whole, supported and nourished by experts.
Data integration through various systems is like a mycelium connecting managers and specialists into a single information network
As in nature, where each element of the ecosystem plays its own role, in the business landscape of the company each participant of the process - from engineer to analyst - contributes to the growth and fertility of the information environment that nourishes the forest of the company's systems. System data trees are not just mechanisms for collecting information, but also a competitive advantage that ensures sustainable growth and development of the company.
Experts, like roots, absorb raw data, transforming it into nutrients for the corporate ecosystem. Management systems (ERP, CPM or BIM) act as powerful trunks that support these information flows and allow knowledge to circulate throughout the company structure.
New information technologies and the rapid growth of forests of systems have opened the door to mass digital preservation of data, from electronic drawings to documents and spreadsheets, which was the starting point for the explosive growth of information volume.
