Becoming Bold with Data Platforms

Mr Michael Pain
Managing Director, Accenture Digital
Abstract
According to recent research conducted by Accenture Digital, 89 per cent of global organisations believe big data platforms will have a revolutionary impact on their operations equal to the creation of the internet. Although Australian organisations have the data and technology needed to implement successful big data strategies, they’re adopting and leveraging big data platforms less aggressively than organisations in other markets .
