According to IDC statistics, globally, data will expand 44-fold during 2009–2020 to reach a massive 35.2 zettabytes (1.8 trillion gigabytes).
Although individuals are responsible for 75% of the information in the digital universe, enterprises are liable for 80% of this data at some point during its digital life. The amount of information individuals create personally – written documents, photos, music, and so forth – is far less than the amount of information being created about them.
The quantity of information "files," or containers, in the digital universe is growing faster than the information itself, partly due to rapidly increasing volumes of embedded systems and the data such systems create. In the next five years, such files will grow by a factor of eight, yet the pool of IT staff available to manage them will expand only marginally. The digital universe is thus enormous, amounting to 1.8 trillion gigabytes in 500 quadrillion containers. And the quantity of data is more than doubling every two years!
What are the forces behind this explosion within the digital universe? Technology has certainly helped, by driving down the cost of creating, capturing, managing, and storing information to a sixth of what it was in 2005. The real impetus, nonetheless, is financial. Since 2005, investments in the digital universe among enterprises have expanded some 50% to $4 trillion – money spent on hardware, software, services, and staff, ultimately, to generate revenue.
As we all know, information is money. Being able to extract precisely the information needed at any given time is of immense value – a target in the sights of every CIO. Due to innovative solutions and technologies, not to mention the development of organizational best practices, we have now embarked upon a major period of change: Technology convergence is not only transforming the way we do business, it is also changing all aspects of our lives.
This new frontier presents challenges, of course, but it also presents unique opportunities to drive growth. To take advantage of these opportunities, CIOs must embrace the technologies and best practices that enable the enterprise to extract value from the massive volumes of data available. They must also guide their respective organizations in all aspects of this digital revolution, from fundamental organizational changes to the creation of new roles. The success of many enterprises in the coming years will depend greatly on CIOs' abilities to adjust business to the new realities of the digital universe.
