Dark Data
https://wiki.atlan.com/dark-data

Data that’s regularly collected and stored, but rarely organized for further analysis. Dark data refers to data that has been collected and stored, but not organized in a usable format for further data analysis. As a result, you cannot use it for decision-making. It is called dark because it is unexplored. According to Gartner, dark data is “the information assets organizations collect, process and store during regular business activities, but generally fail to use for other purposes.” Customer call records are an example of dark data. These types of records are regularly recorded and stored, but rarely organized or analyzed. Other examples of dark data include social network feeds, financial statements, raw survey data, emails, log files, geo-location data and notes, among others. Dark data is complex and difficult to categorize. Often, it requires large amounts of resources to be processed and analyzed. However, it offers significant value to organizations for extracting critical insights that can drive tremendous business value. For example, customer call records can indicate customer sentiment. Web server logs can reveal visitor behavior. Organizations can use these insights to improve their products or services. This will be added to Business Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer™.

Enterprise League

Enterprise League was founded to address a huge problem for small companies: how to find the right companies to buy from, or to sell to. Their purpose is to bring the decision makers of small companies onto one platform, and give them the unlimited ability to search through the business world for the companies they want to partner with. They are focused on solving the biggest problem that small firms face, lack of business collaborations. They firmly believe that there is a customer for any product/service and Enterprise League was founded with that mission at its core.
