about a 78% of non-structured data, and a 22% of structured data.
Considering the company as a whole, you must identify which Information Systems you recommend to implement, which function will have each of these
Information Systems, where will be the data located and in which form, which is the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your proposal, and any additional
