Big Data – March 2012
March 09, 2012
The focus of this CMIT event was “big data,” the growing use of extremely large data sets that allows analysts to spot business trends, prevent diseases, and combat crime. The program featured presentations by IT thought leaders from the intelligence community (Gus Hunt, CTO of the CIA), financial services (David Wright, Senior Vice President at Capital One), and consumer data (Mike Brown, CTO of comScore and Gihad Jawhar, Vice President at Lowes.com).
