Data is not information, and even information is far from knowledge. On the one hand organizations tend to gather large amounts of data just for the sake of collecting it, without a clear plan, or even concept on of how to use them in the future generating information overload. On the other hand in most of the situations, besides having overload from irrelevant data, crucial information might be missing which makes optimal decision impossible. Present paper endeavors to introduce and analyze a system – namely that of the FUTÁR project – that is well equipped for collecting data and has a well-functioning inner logic to create information from the assembled data. What is lacking is the understanding of the possibilities this system is providing to its users, and the realization of ideas – the application of knowledge – for which it has been established.
