Our ability to sense, analyse, process, create and store digital information is leading to a huge increase in stored data. \u00a0This is a problem for many enterprises who see the benefits of tapping into this cornucopia of digital wealth to improve decision support. But how to make this data accessible and meaningful is a considerable challenge.<\/p>\n

To quote McKinsey:<\/p>\n Big data comprises huge datasets that cannot be managed effectively with traditional methods and tools. As well as large quantities of numerical data it includes vast amounts of unstructured data such as documents, emails, and social media messages that threaten to swamp KM and IT systems and processes. Before it can be managed and turned into valuable information and knowledge it has to be analysed and indexed and this needs new skills, tools and processes.<\/p>\n Speakers from Pingar, specialists in the analysis of unstructured data, will explain what big data is, how it can be managed and the value (and knowledge) that can be extracted from it.<\/p>\n
