Panel Details: Big data is transforming the way organizations interact with customers, suppliers and stakeholders; is driving new business models; and is challenging the way businesses think about the on-line experience. Leveraging data to create new opportunities while balancing security and privacy is paramount to how organizations think about Big Data. Leveraging new opportunities for the collective benefit and still finding a balance with privacy and large volumes of data contribute to the insurmountable problem of managing Big Data.
