Panel Theme: Organizer’s Take

“Changing face of Data”

The demand and need for data collection, integration, transformation, analysis, discovery, dissemination, presentation and visualization (and tools focused on some or all of these functions) have been changing rapidly in the past decade.

The context and landscape of Data has been changing from ‘data in databases” to expand and include unstructured text, documents, web content and further expanding to include images, voice, speech, video and streaming etc.

The Moore’s Law and evolving transformational technologies such as Big Data, Cloud, Virtualization, Pervasive internet and Mobility are further spiraling up the vortex of change. In the context aware, location / person / device specific data world. With Behavioural context.

The business demands have been changing as well, from the conventional “load time latency” and “here are the reports” to helping “business adapt to the change” and “innovating with data driven (product/solution) offerings”

What remains unchanged, though, is the unqualified need for the “trusted data foundation” with no compromises on consistency, integration, traceability, auditability and governance of the hugely enlarged data spectrum.

This Panel focuses on this “Changing face of Data” and its implications, along with call for action to Business Leaders, Industries, Information Professionals and Academia.

Changing face of data combined with math & technology innovation lead to a paradigm shift:creates business opportunities

Industry boundaries are fast becoming hazy & thinner

Technology innovation is enabling new business models

Old economy is becoming ‘old’ faster

Behaviors are changing, new behaviors and needs are emerging

Need for faster and better decisions, more such decisions

Moore’s law, Unstructured data

Data Information & Knowledge Actions Outcomes

OLTP BI/OLAP Analytics Actionable insights Outcomes Change Process/change OLTP?

Agenda less data vs. agenda driven data

‘conversations’ are perishable? Privacy affected?

Panel Theme: Changing Face of Data

Creates convergence opportunities and business applications across industries

Industries Data and Business Applications

Retail/pharmacy, Pharmaand health insurance

Patient prescription adherence data finds its applications across 3 industries leading to better outcomes/ health management, & lowering costs

Retail, and banks/financial services

Transactional and behavioral data resulting from purchases on cobranded/loyalty cards improves customer experience, enables focused targeting

B2C, e-commerce, B2B-across industries

Conversations, intentions, unstructured data from blogs, social networks : Mining and discovering patterns from agenda less data can lead to newer business opportunities- e.g.: enables closed loop marketing

Retail /CPG RFID tags

UIDAI Infinite possibilities that make social and business sense

Key Takeaways / Calls to Action

Data Dynamics Information Excellence Spring 2012 Summit

Call for Action:

There is increased enthusiasm coupled with bewilderment around big data and what it portends forcompanies from an ROI perspective, and individuals from a career perspective.

Analytics is here to stay and will oil our's and in turn the world's economy in the next decade atleast !

Changing face of data is not a phenomenon in isolation. Simultaneously faces of business and technology are also changing. Changing face of data, combined with innovation in technology creates a shift in paradigm- it not solves existing business problem but also creates new business opportunities.

New opportunities would be built upon leveraging data assets across industries, new opportunities would be discovered by mining unstructured data.

However practitioners and academicians need to be cognizant of certain challenges specifically about chances of compromising on data security and privacy.
