Want to learn what real data innovation looks like? Come to the best Structure Data yet
This post was written by Derrick Harris, Head of Content for Structure Events and the force behind the next conference on our calendar, Structure Data.
Structure Data 2016 is approaching fast — it’s just a few months until the event kicks off on March 9 — and it is looking like the best one yet. The speakers are great, the topics are interesting and, most importantly, the field of big data (or whatever you choose to call it) has never been more timely.
Data analysis is so important today because the technologies are finally here to undertake real, meaningful data-driven business improvements. What began as a discussion about Hadoop, data volumes and cutting-edge web companies nearly a decade ago is now a discussion that touches business of every size and type. Artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, real-time processing and interactive business intelligence are here, and smart companies are already embracing them.
And they’re not adopting new data technologies just for the sake of doing it. They’re adopting new data technologies because customers are demanding it. The end product might be a smarter app, a connected devices, a better medical diagnosis or even a safer neighborhood, but data is the fuel that drives everything.
