According to IDC, 90% of business data is unstructured, including PDFs, emails, social media posts, and audio files. Forrester predicts that the volume of unstructured data managed by enterprises will double by 2024. Which is just around the corner, folks. The GenAI solution addresses the need to sift through this unstructured data. GenAI is offering a comprehensive platform for organizations.
