Big Data:  Surely one of the most confusing terms ever invented by the IT industry.  ARC Advisory’s data clearly reflects that confusion – 38% of manufacturers don’t understand what Big Data is, or why they should care.

But, ready or not, Big Data is real - and it’s coming to a plant near you.  This presentation will:

  • Define, in practical terms, what Big Data is.  And, just as importantly, what it isn’t...
  • Showcase emerging examples of industrial Big Data applications
  • Highlight key technologies, skills and processes needed for Big Data applications
  • Provide actionable steps that all organizations can take to start gaining value from Big Data
