"The world is one big data problem"
This week's quote is by the eminent cofounder and codirector of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy - Dr. Andrew McAfee
We agree with Dr. Andrew that the world is one big data problem. We are all living in a world where the data industry has become one of the most powerful and data tools the means to develop the enterprises.
His research investigates how IT changes the way companies perform, organize themselves and compete. At a higher level, he also continuously explores how computerization affects competition, society, the economy and the workforce.
With the drastic growth of data inflow, new tools emerge everyday, to make optimum use of raw data to be able to analyse and use it fruitfully.
Data Science covers all such tools, techniques and technologies which help us handle data and use it for our good.
Just like Dr. Andrews, we have been continuously studying about changing digital technologies too.
We have been at the crux of digital transformation and have been working continuously since then to adapt, create and explore - so that we support our partners in their digital journey and help them leverage the latest technology to advance in their core functionalities.
