TechBiz Connection Forum to Consider Opportunities in Big Data

By: TechBiz Connection
 
IRVINE, Calif. - June 12, 2013 - PRLog -- TechBiz Connection will host an interactive and informative discussion with a panel of veteran experts who will address the latest and most profitable Big Data opportunities on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 from 6:00-9:00 PM at the law offices of Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear in Irvine.

According to Jack Bicer, TechBiz Connection president, IBM statistics show that companies have captured more data in the last two years than in the previous 2,000 years. “Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data — much of it unstructured and far beyond the capability of conventional databases,” Bicer noted, “so the big question is whether this creates opportunity. Our panel is prepared to answer this question and more.”

Topics to be covered include:

·        • What is Big Data? Is it real?

·         • Can it actually help me?

·         • How can you use it?

·         • Can Big Data really be monetized?

The panel moderator will be Barry Lieberman, owner of Advantage Plus Marketing. Mr. Lieberman works in an interim executive role as a change artist to enable organizations to modernize their customer touching organizations to prosper in today's markets.
