Welcome to the Business Forum Big Data.Are you ready for big data?
And is your company ready for this new business challenge?
Belgian companies will use big data to increase revenues and to find new revenue models, hoping to cut costs and to lower risks. 9 out of 10 says big data is a priority and very important, but almost 60% admits they don’t exactly know what big data really means (*). This event aims to clarify this new business challenge for both management and the it-environment with specific user cases and insights from big data watchers. Because the biggest hurdles might not be the network, storage or hardware, it’s probably the change to a data-driven company, how to handle all the dispersed data, getting the right budget and finding qualified people or partners.(*) Data News Survey march 2014
“Without big data analytics, companies are blind and deaf,
wandering out onto the web like deer on a freeway.”
