Episode 13 - Part 1: Q&A with Dr. David Belanger, chair of the IEEE Big Data Initiative; and Kathy Grise, program director for the IEEE Big Data Initiative IEEE Big Data

Big Data isn't what it was 10 years ago. We're starting to see its evolution, as it permeates all industries and influences how businesses make decisions. And Big Data can be different things industry by industry. For professional sports, teams are wanting more insight on player performance and game location. For electric utilities, companies are gathering data associated with outages to help better serve customers. As our 13th episode of the IEEE Big Data Podcast, this is part one of a two-part series--both Dr. Belanger and Ms. Grise offer their perspectives on the "why" behind Big Data and how that influences where it is today. And as you'll hear in this unique podcast, both industry experts offer perspectives that can help businesses steer their Big Data priorities into new and profitable directions.
