Overview

Big data means different things in different organisations and whilst it is perceived as a problem area, it is not as big a problem area as many people think. There is a lot of data that can be collected and analysed but much of it is irrelevant so the most important decision is what data requires analysis - what is business critical?

This webinar will help to dispel the myths and misconceptions about big data and consider practical applications.
