Komprise, a company specializing in managing unstructured data, has recently introduced a new feature called Smart Data Workflow Manager to simplify the process of automated data augmentation. The company already helps enterprises analyze and report on their data usage and storage locations, with a global search capability that aids in data location regardless of storage vendor. By moving data based on enterprise-wide policies, Komprise aims to optimize storage costs.
The challenge with collecting large amounts of unstructured data lies in finding what is needed when it is needed. Without a well-curated index, locating specific data becomes a daunting task. Komprise’s Smart Data Workflows use external services to tag and index unstructured data based on its contents, such as image recognition algorithms for photos or videos and natural language processing for text. This augments Komprise’s global index and provides structure to unstructured data.
By automating the process of identifying data content through external tools and workflows, Komprise acts as a data librarian for enterprises, organizing and indexing their data collection. This automation saves time and effort that would otherwise be spent manually analyzing file contents. Komprise can connect to external analysis tools tailored to recognize specific data types, limiting costs and focusing on high-value datasets for tagging and retrieval.
With a global perspective, Komprise offers a shared data librarian service for organizations, enabling isolated data storage locations to be repurposed for new processes. Customers like Duquesne University have utilized Komprise workflows and cloud image recognition services to quickly process and identify relevant data, such as in creating a retrospective on John F. Kennedy. Komprise aims to complement specialized tools for data processing by providing an organized and repeatable way to connect them to enterprise data.
Overall, Komprise’s Smart Data Workflow Manager aims to bring more order to the increasing chaos of unstructured data within enterprises. By offering a systematic approach to organizing and indexing data, Komprise helps companies optimize their data management processes and improve data retrieval efficiency. As companies continue to accumulate vast amounts of data, having a tool like Komprise to streamline data organization and processing becomes increasingly valuable in the information age.
