The Business Value of Big Data
We live in a data-centric world where digital products and services abound. The task of making sense of the data all around us is daunting, but there is also unprecedented opportunity to generate new insights and innovations from exploiting big data. The conference will engage industry and academic experts to discuss:
- The potential of big data and the controversies related to its definition and value, and
- Best practices and exemplars for applying big data to transform how we view the world around us.
We define big data broadly to include enterprise analytics, social media analytics, as well as extracting value from structured and unstructured data. The conference is organized around specific, practical examples, best practices, and state-of-the-art applications that demonstrate business value. Topics include fraud detection, customer trends, safety and compliance, media impact, and others.
The conference committee is a unique partnership among the senior executives of the Fox IT advisory board, members of the Institute for Business and Information Technology (IBIT), and the Department of Management Information Systems (MIS), Fox School of Business, Temple University.
