For a long time, the Portable Document Format (PDF) has been the standard for effective document distribution. Unfortunately, the ubiquity of PDF files tends to make IT professionals and knowledge workers alike overlook the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat application, which has steadily been evolving into a rich set of collaborative tools, as exemplified by the latest release, Adobe Acrobat X. Using Acrobat simply as a means of converting documents to PDF obscures its strategic benefits to an organization. As part of the standard desktop image, Adobe Acrobat X can help IT support more efficient collaborative document creation, review, and distribution by supplying functionality lacking in productivity software such as Microsoft Office, and document management or collaborative systems such as Microsoft SharePoint.

Data migration projects are critical to strategic initiatives yet the success rate across the industry is extremely low. A recent industry survey by Bloor Research discovered that only 16% of data migration projects are typically delivered on time and on budget. Severe delays or failure during the data migration project can have a major impact on strategic objectives. New business systems sit idle as they wait to be populated with data. Competitive advantage is lost and costs begin to soar.
One principle cause of this endemic failure within the data migration industry is the inability to adequately manage the quality of the data assets that require migration. The same Bloor Research report also found that only 10% of organizations surveyed admitted to using data quality tools during their data migration.

Nearly all companies realize that the way to gain a competitive advantage is to obtain better data, interpret them quickly, and distribute them in easier-to-use formats. However, there are many obstacles to the effective use of data and few companies surmount them all-a fact that results in a lot of unused corporate data. How are companies using information to beat their rivals and create a more level playing field?

The list of initiatives that are data-enabled-indeed, data-intensive-vary from company to company, from industry to industry. But the common denominator is an increasing awareness that these and other programs can't succeed without clean, meaningful, and available information. In this white paper, Baseline Consulting's Jill Dyché discusses how the data conversation is changing from philosophical questioning to hard-core tactics, from "What do we need?" to "Where do we start?" It covers the most common reasons for data governance failure, as well as the components of data governance that will inform the right strategy and give companies a means of determining where and how to begin their data governance journeys.

This knowledge empowers a corporation to identify and take advantage of new business opportunities. This voracious appetite for repurposing data clashes with the fact that the organic evolution of the modern data environment is wrought with inconsistencies and disparate knowledge centers. This persistent conflict makes the data repurposing effort difficult at best.
