The data stashed away in documents, emails, social media posts and other types of unstructured content holds a lot of potential value for business users. But without the ability to find and analyze that information, it may all just be data clutter without much purpose. Content analytics software can help organizations unlock the value of unstructured data for uses such as targeted marketing, discovering new avenues for product development, keeping track of customer sentiment or e-discovery in legal cases.

They’ll also find out whether there are big differences in the different software programs, if there’s more to content analytics than sophisticated search capabilities and how to choose the technology that best meets their business requirements.
