Has access to information become a problem? Call PHD Brasil!

PHD Brasil consultant Bill Inmon, the "father" of Data Warehouse systems, uses to say that by 2015, the world will generate a volume of data larger than it has ever managed to produce in one millennium. At the end of the 1990's on an international scale, this huge amount of data was measured in millions of terabyte units - each one equivalent to one trillion bytes, or 250 million pages of text. It is not by chance that the world storage industry moves over US$ 25 billion per year

However in 2010, sponsored by the information avalanche generated by the Internet every day, and also by Sarbanes-Oxley regulations that compel incorporated companies to store information for more than a decade, this volume should amount to millions of petabytes.

This is quite unimaginable, considering that one petabyte equals 1,024 terabytes, or 1.1 quadrillion bytes.

It is not just a matter of where to store such a tremendous volume of information. After all, since the early 1990's storage media capacity has increased 18-fold, while prices fell 52-fold. The question is how to manage the information. In companies, half of it - including strategic-value, decision-support information - remains outside databases, isolated within workstations and laptops, not to mention the ca. 50 million e-mails generated per day worldwide. The greatest challenge is to manage this immense and continuously growing volume of data. PHD Brasil can solve this problem, with the support of a world-class team of consultants and state-of-the-art technology that is warranted by a respectable team of partners.

Does your company no longer know how to organize information rationally, securely, and economically? Or worse, is it unable to ensure that information is accessed at a speed that matches the degree of urgency required by decision making processes in the competitive business world? Call PHD Brasil!
