Data is power, assuming you know how to use it. The
organizations that will be most successful over the next decade
are those that recognize this simple fact. The advantage provided
by data that has been transformed into useful information is
undeniable: information derived from measurement data can be
used to drive differentiation, optimization, and innovation. The
future's biggest data challenge lies in effectively managing
acquired data to give context to what is otherwise just a series of
numbers across thousands of files.
