As the amount of digital information being produced expands exponentially, innovative Big Data analytical tools are finding new ways to put it to good use.
We are producing data at an ever-increasing rate. But what good is all this information if we don’t know how to analyze it and put it to productive use — to discover cures, predict maintenance failures or keep traffic flowing?
As the world’s markets rapidly evolve into complex hybrids of physical and digital assets, cyber security is increasingly critical as a stabilizing force. It is no longer an esoteric art practiced mainly by rival intelligence agencies and giant corporations — it has become a basic necessity of everyday life for any business.
A connected device or machine becomes something entirely new. Think of the multiple roles that smartphones play in our everyday lives; or how cars are turning into communication and navigation platforms with an increasing degree of autonomy. The same revolution is underway in industry.
Whatever your industry, you may have invested in Big Data in the hopes it will increase your efficiency and save you money. Perhaps you have a vision of a self-optimizing plant that gets smarter over time, gives you end-to-end visibility and saves you millions. But the results haven’t materialized, and you’re still looking for a way to turn that data into dollars.
Clean tech is increasingly about IT-enabled distributed and fully integrated energy systems that have the potential to transform lives around the world — as well as the prosperity and productivity of countries across the globe.
