IBM has introduced a new Big Data service available on its Cloud marketplace.

Through this service, organizations can now easily secure, access and manage content from anywhere and on any device, according to IBM officials.

Using this new service will allow knowledge workers to do their jobs more effectively and collaboratively by synchronizing and making the content they need available on any browser, desktop and mobile device they use everyday, and to apply it in the context of key business processes, according to a company statement.

According to research estimates, 2.5 billion gigabytes of data are created every day, and 80 per cent of that data is comprised of unstructured content such as contracts, claims forms, and permit applications. 

The explosion of the volume of content, including Tweets and posts to social media, has increased the need to use any type of information from nearly any source, according to industry watchers.
