Unstructured data comes from consumer comments in surveys, social media posts, email exchanges, and conversations with digital assistants. This seemingly-endless amount of information represents a wealth of potential consumer insight that enterprises need to capture, analyze, and incorporate into their business processes. However, the task of sifting through unstructured data can be daunting.
The intimidating nature of text analytics tools
Teams of data scientists can leverage modern, powerful tools to mine consumer input, including machine learning, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing (NLP). These tools are changing rapidly, and wrangling, organizing, and sifting through the data becomes overwhelming quickly. As a result, many organizations have avoided text analytics for as long as possible or merely dabbled with manual efforts towards text categorization and classification.
Effort
In most cases, the best they can do is search for answers to specific problems based on pre-existing knowledge, while hidden gems and past learnings are lost due to the task's labor-intensive nature.
Expense
Businesses need robust text analytics tools that can power transformation throughout their organizations and break down barriers to activating the insights hidden within the unstructured data. Many organizations offer such tools today, but adopting them tends to be expensive and requires extensive training or up-front support.
Upkeep
Many tools are also brittle to change and new data sources, and very few of them tackle the integration of text insights with operational data. The initiation of integrating text analytics tools into your business may be intimidating, but the ongoing effort of its upkeep is an even larger commitment.
Unstructured data is complex and so are the tools used to analyze it. Make sure you’re not falling for one of these five common text analytics misconceptions — but here's what to do about it if you are.

Such approaches could not stem the tide of incoming consumer comments and were never considered sustainable — until now.
