Is Data Socialization The Next Big Thing In Data Analytics?

The Big Data revolution in business has come about due to the huge increase in the amount of information we're able to capture and analyze, from an ever growing number of sources. It's the driving force behind a wider wave of technology-driven transformation which is taking place thanks to advances in fields such as automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Self-driving cars, personalized medicine and the "fourth industrial revolution" are all built on Big Data. But the growth in the amount of data available is just the start. Forward-thinkers are aware that the way we consume – and act on – this data has to evolve, too, if we want to unlock its true potential. Data socialization is a term that's being heard more frequently, and it's an attempt to tackle the ongoing (and often mission-critical) process of making sure the right data is in front of the right person – a decision maker – at the right time.
