Analytics
Information analytics is the collection and analysis of data. The use of powerful computers to identify patterns and trends in a data set is not new, but has been greatly enhanced in the past few years. As a result, the quality of the output is high enough to be used as a tool in the decision-making process.
Based on HP IDOL (Intelligent Data Operating Layer), HP Information Analytics help organizations extract meaning from all forms of human information such as audio, text and video. HP IDOL uses advanced pattern-matching technology to understand key concepts in all forms of information, including free text, video, audio, image, social media and the web. Unlike traditional, keyword-dependent systems, HP IDOL retrieves all relevant information that is conceptually related to a query, going beyond search to help users discover the information they may not know to look for.

They can be delivered as enterprise-class software on premises, through the cloud or in a hybrid model.
