Question

Can someone give me insight where the concept of big data can be utilized within your organization (which is not being done currently) in order to provide any benefit either in terms of providing better quality of service or saving cost?

Answer 1

Big data is not just being utilised by private sector organisations but by the public sector as well. The city of Las Vegas recently began collecting data on road usage, including whether streets are being used by vehicles, pedestrians, or bicycles. In previous instances, Las Vegas performed those counts manually every year, or as needed. However, the city now uses big data technology to carry out the counts. By using this technology, the city can perform the counts on an ongoing basis, providing better data about how the roads are used and any needed repairs or improvements.
