For many, the answer is still \u2018not much\u2019. But why miss out on the enormous commercial opportunity and risk being left behind by your competitors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gartner estimates that a staggering 90% of enterprise data is unstructured, locked away in formats like free text, audio files, or images. Until recently, tapping into this goldmine of unstructured data seemed daunting due to barriers of cost and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But thanks to recent advances in AI, the game has changed. Imagine the transformative insights waiting to be unearthed once you unlock the potential of your unstructured data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly harness the power of AI, you need solutions that go beyond the surface. One-size-fits-all tools or hastily assembled models simply won\u2019t cut it in complex business environments. And let\u2019s face it, waiting five years for a mega transformation isn\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oakland has successfully planned, delivered, and implemented data projects for over 35 years for some of the most complex data landscapes in the UK.
