Demystifying Big Data: A Practical Guide To Transforming The Business Of Government
The impact of Big Data has the potential to be as
profound as the development of the Internet itself.
Big Data has the potential to transform government and
society itself. Hidden in the immense volume, variety and
velocity of data that is produced today is new information,
facts, relationships, indicators and pointers, that either
could not be practically discovered in the past, or
simply did not exist before. This new information,
effectively captured, managed, and analyzed, has the power
to enhance profoundly the effectiveness of government.
Imagine a world with an expanding population but a reduced
strain on services and infrastructure; dramatically improved
healthcare outcomes with greater efficiency and less
investment; intensified threats to public safety and national
borders, but greater levels of security; more frequent and
intense weather events, but greater accuracy in prediction
and management. Imagine a world with more cars, but less
congestion; more insurance claims but less fraud; fewer
natural resources, but more abundant and less expensive
energy. The impact of Big Data has the potential to be as
profound as the development of the Internet itself.
