great ques! IMHO both B2B and B2C industries can equally gain from #BigData - enough and more examples from both segments

all of them. Countless use cases...

Ah the million $$ question! We see benefits across all segments, but def lots of activities in telco, finserv and retail.

EMC & Pivotal assist customers identify right use cases, prove value, deploy data lake, and reskill

Oh and don't forget IOT... lots of industrial use cases there. That's one of the reasons why GE invested in @Pivotal!

more obvious ex from B2C with #CustomerEngagement use-cases, but distribution intensive industries (B2B) also using real-time data to improve operational efficiencies.

Media and entertainment, Banking, Telcos, Healthcare...

example: EMC customer transforming agriculture by precision farming through real time analysis of moisture level, climate etc

@88_dmitri thats the human face of big data!

example: Airline industry can change the game with real-time engine service, improving profitability and averting disaster

a good use-case is use of real-time traffic information in Sweden to improve traffic condition and reduce congestion!

example: massive Korean manufacturer optimizing manuf process to deliver near zero defect rates

We need that for sure!

So a broad range of use cases....all helping to make lives better!

u have a Korean phone? #lol

@FaceofBigData lot of use cases in healthcare, citizen services, targeted subsidy, predicting disasters

one of the most impressive use-case is use of real-time data by first responders like Ambulance to alert hospitals of patient health ahead of reaching

Here is a good example from a regional telco provider http://bit.ly/1CMlNe... @PivotalSG

Inovalon is a great example of how big data is being used in the evolution of the healthcare industry. Patient data from thousands of disparate sources is combined to provide the analytical insights to inform, enable and empower the point of care

It's interesting that only 58% of respondents in APJ believe their org has the right level of skills and knowledge to complete business priorities successfully. #EMCForum

Pivotal, EMC and Temasek Polytechnic recently launch Singapore’s First Data Science Academy

Data Science Academy will help meet demand for data science professionals and support Singapore’s vision to become a Smart Nation

The deep holes in finance originate from doing big data projects in piece meal and outsourced. Big data is not a one time thing, it’s an ongoing process.

EMC also offers a course in Data Science & Big Data Analytics through its EMC Academic Alliance initiative

That's why @PivotalSG and @EMCSingapore facilitated these #datascience curriculum in Singapore

How does this position Singapore as part of its Singapore50 vision?

it's the WHO part of the answer to that vision

So people skills are a gap and EMC is investing together with the government to address this

but Big data is a team sport –including IT Operator, Data Scientist, App Developer, LoB use, business and IT

If we get this right, SG can emerge as an analytics hub for Asia

talent availability continues to the biggest pain point stalling projects 65% orgs in #AsiaPacific are struggling to find #Talent

An opportunity for Singapore again to become a regional hub...for data scientists!

Dear GenX/Y/Z, Opportunity Knocks.

Challenge right now is not just finding talent, but those who understand the industry and the use-case - one size does not fit all!

@EMCAcademics can help build skills at the college level. EMC Education Services at the professional level

IDC predicts #BigData & #Analytics in APeJ will continue to grow at 34.1% CAGR to S$3.31bil in 2017. In Singapore, #dataanaytics market can generate an additional S$10bil to S$17bil per yr for the SG economy.

one word. #boundless

The opportunity is tremendous here in the region. @PivotalSG and @EMCSingapore are working with customers across different sectors, and the projects are getting quite interesting.

Thats a huge market indeed and growing rapidly!

why? Because by 2020, 7 bn+ people, millions of new biz, and 30 bn+ devices, will be connected to the Internet

Singapore is one of the most mature markets here in the region and most #CIO conversation are rich with business outcome discussions

So its real and happening already?

it's a daily conversation with nearly every one of our customers

Folks are getting more familiar with the topic, and it's now moving from thinking into planning and execution.

In a recently concluded study we @Greyhound_R found that more than 75% orgs are already either planning or running a #BigData project

Lots of projects with leading telco and finserv customers, data science engagements at IDA, as well as establishing a big data diploma with the Temasek Polytechnic.

Thanks, good to understand the size of the market and examples of real customers

IOT is starting to be an emerging trend here as well, in Singapore and SEA. THAT my friend is true #BIGDATA

Unprecedented convergence of people, business and things is disrupting existing business models

Good question, especially since industry estimates suggest >75% of storage capacity shipped is to support unstructured data. Driven by #IoT and megatrends this is doubling every 2yrs #DigitalUniverse

Great question! Currently orgs are using multiple approaches to manage #BigData projects - more than 45% testing/using Hadoop environment

data that's accumulated for as long as a company has been in biz. Multiple sites, 100s of systems & 1k's of devices/sensors

Defining the top priority business problem that can be solved by big data solution is where the initial complexity will come in.

Steps to harness Big Data 1) gather all data 2) apply new analytics techniques 3) build new apps, biz models

But the real challenge at hand is relative immaturity of best practices - #methodologies, #governance and #security

So there is a lot of data sitting around with firms and they can use this to get insights?

Dealing with real-time seems to be an issue as well.

yes it's everywhere. It's at the top of C-suite agendas to build new end user / customer experiences

for insights: Key is to focus on business outcomes and not low level technology

great point! Yes,orgs still unclear on how to avoid silo from existing information management architecture

another key challenge is involving business leaders in #BigData projects - 65% CIOs in #AsiaPacific struggle with this!

if not explained well by the #CIO, #BigData can quickly turn to #BadData for #CMO and other business leaders!

A great way to solve this is to have business leaders fund and own #BigData projects, while #IT team can implement and manage tech

1 in 3 orgs in #AsiaPacific today are using #Cloud infrastructure to better manage #BigData projects
