Big data is a hot topic these days among not only technologists but also business leaders in the West and the East. Almost all industries, from financial services, retail, hospitality to healthcare, CPG, transport, just name a few, are being or will be soon disrupted by big data. Internet-savvy companies like Google and Alibaba, big data start-ups like Zest Finance and Kabbage, traditional companies like GE and Haier, financial services institutions like Citibank and Ping An, are all making use of big data to create their business models to disrupt the rules of our games, win the heart of our customers, innovate new products and services, and make faster and better decisions at right time.
Given the integration of increasingly rich data about markets, sales, customers, internal operations, external information and unstructured data, professionals can now productively use such information and identify opportunities to accelerate growth and enhance profitability of the company.
This talk aims to explain the concept of Big Data and show practical cases of how it creates business values for enterprises.
- What is Big Data?
