What is text mining and content analytics?
Without the right analytic tools, organizations often fail to tap into their unstructured data, such as text. With nearly 80% of all enterprise information being unstructured, the potential lost value is enormous. With text mining, organizations can quickly and inexpensively access and analyze billions of pages of textual content from internal documents, emails, social media, web pages and more. Text mining goes beyond simply searching for keywords. It uses powerful algorithms to analyze that content, determine what a given piece of text is about and assess its relevance.
