Big Data expert David Savlowitz from Competitive Analytics discusses the growing importance of data in business and why most companies under-utilize the information they have available to them.

David takes listeners through real examples of big data helps improve business performance, from increasing sales prices to reducing the margin of error on predictive auction prices by 4x.

He explains why data preparation is actually the most important step of data analytics and how incorrect preparation leads to worthless output.

Finally, our hosts ask David about the possible misuse of data and how to know if you are using “bad” data as opposed to the “right” data and what effect the “Internet of Things” is going to have on big data for companies moving forward.
