Abstract:

Nowadays, enterprises are facing the challenge of massive information management where investment in information infrastructure is a must. However, few of them focus on the economic potential of their information assets to increase their value.

Many factors must be taken into consideration to maintain the data quality assurance due to the diversity and complexity of extreme data volumes. Organizations will need to train their staff as they prepare to adapt to the change. In this paper we analyze one of the tools launched to the market as a result of this phenomenon: SAP HANA.

Organizations in many industries are collecting and storing a growing amount of data. Although, according to Douglas Laney and Frank Buytendij (Gartner Research, 2013), sectors such as government, manufacturing and education have the highest levels of "dark data". This underused dark data represents the opportunity to transform businesses.
