WHAT: |
The era of big data is not “coming soon.” It’s here, and it’s brought both big change and unprecedented opportunity to countless businesses across many industries. The first wave of big data focused on the underlying resource demands – the three “V’s” of big data – volume, variety and velocity. It’s now time to shift the conversation to a new “V” – viability – to determine which data elements actually produce better outcomes and will help companies reap long-term rewards from their big data. |
