Data is a way for Nigerian businesses, especially the dotcom businesses, to make informed decisions on how to move forward. That’s why the Mobile Monday Nigeria team are focusing on data in their May edition, where questions around big data, the requirements to analyse large data sets and the kind of information that can be derived from data will be answered.
Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications.
Analysis of this data allows correlations to be found to spot business trends, determine quality of research, prevent diseases, link legal citations, combat crime, and determine real-time roadway traffic conditions. This clearly shows the importance of Big Data.
The May edition of Mobile Monday Nigeria will hold on the 27th of May, 2013 between 5pm and 8pm at E-Learning Centre, Odunlami Street, CBD (Central Business District), Lagos. Register here to attend.
