Description:

Big data isn't just about sensors, mobile devices, the Internet of things and highly sophisticated decision support applications. Like any significant technology disruption, its impact can be detectable long before it becomes a household word.

Organizations are already feeling the foreshocks of big data with their approach to social data. In this webcast talk, Susan Etlinger will discuss how organizations are addressing the challenges of social data—technological, organizational and cultural—and what it can teach us on the road to big data.
