"Optimization systems are a reality, feasible and reliable. The question then becomes: is all this added complexity necessary to answer the needs of day-to-day operations? Human know-how and experience can go a long way towards implementing a good-enough solution without incurring extra costs, but there are decisive benefits to using systematic optimization algorithms."

"Unstructured data does not have, in fact, any defined relationships between data points and is stored typically in a non-relational database, or a data lake, depending on the structure of the non-relational database.

And all of this at the right price. Something that will certainly please organizations’ stakeholders."
