Data is the new currency
Why no business can afford to underestimate the value of its data
The Age of Data
We are at the dawning of the Age of Data. A staggering 90% of the world’s data was created in the last two years. As this proliferation continues, the challenge for any organisation is how to turn data into tangible advantage. These are exhilarating times; becoming truly data-driven is perhaps our most definitive step into the digital age. In our Digital Vision for Supercomputing & Big Data, we explore the implications for organisations and what lies ahead.
