Traditional structured database tools are limiting because they require pre-defined structures and fields. In essence, a business has to know everything about its data and its intended use before technology can be applied.  Structured databases’ strengths are in dealing with large transaction systems where transactions are consistent - transaction after transaction, day after day (i.e., data that fit easily within defined fields), but they rapidly break down when dealing with free-form content and/or changing data relationships. 

Most estimates indicate 80% of all data are unstructured in nature – meaning it does not follow any pre-defined structure or standards, making it difficult to use. meaning the information that people and organizations use is unstructured.  Either it will not fit within the defined structures of a traditional database, or it is changing too quickly to be harnessed.

In business, this may mean productivity losses as employees try to regenerate existing data because they can’t find it easily, or they will spend inordinate amounts of time trying to revamp existing files into something more usable but not ideal.  Both situations result in significant losses of productivity.

nextPression’s unique technology is able to pull in and manage vast amounts of unstructured data so that it can be more easily managed. “Structure” is only added as information is extracted, and that is done through queries on the data.  In addition, the nextPression database engine can help find relationships in this unstructured data with little effort. It provides a fluid, flexible, and fast way to organize and reference information so that it can be accumulated, managed, and accessed more easily.

If your business success is constrained by not having the right tools to manage your data, our technology is your solution.
