DATA DYSPEPSIA
The quantity of information flowing into your office on a daily basis has
reached an officially indigestible level, says Gartner, which reports that
90% of companies are suffering from data overload to the point where it's
affecting their productivity. Gartner estimates that businesses will spend
as much as $30 billion this year alone on information management systems in
the hope of digging out, but it still may not be enough to improve the
signal to noise ratio in most offices. Surprisingly, Gartner found that the
most useful information employees receive comes from personal contacts,
contact with friends and colleagues and e-mails, rather than the corporate
Intranet. The company has therefore recommended that businesses encourage
more social interaction -- in cafeterias, lounges and around the water
cooler -- while at the same time implementing workflow tools that can help
stem the tide of useless information. (The Register 15 May 2002)
