Can anyone recommend any articles/blogs/etc on big data success stories outside of ad tech and retail web tech? And I mean big, business defining successes.
It's not to say they don't exist, obviously analytics is super important, but after being involved in it for 10+ years, it is rare that I have seen any game changing results come from big data analytics teams. Lots of small incremental improvements, sure, but I wonder about the ROI given the infra costs.
- edmundsauto 4y agoWould you consider fintech or algorithmic trading a use case? Or analytics for sports? The sabermetric revolution uses big data for video analysis now - something like 6 TB per game. Flexport might be another example. Although I’m not privy exactly to how they use data.
