Imagine your data ecosystem as an expansive kitchen. The core ingredient for any AI recipe is data—fresh, high-quality, and well-prepared. Currently, nearly 20% of the data used in AI deployments is neatly packaged within structured Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. These are the easy ingredients—structured, clean, and ready to use. Yet, the vast majority, nearly 80%, remains untapped, stored in unstructured formats such as emails, PDFs, videos, and sensor feeds. These richer, unstructured data sources possess immense flavor and potential but require innovative approaches to harness effectively.
