Data Analytics: Perspectives from the Utility Industry

Energy industry leaders on the role of data in developing the potential of smart grid capabilities - by Bart King, Cleantech Communications

What puts the “smart” in smart grid? It isn’t the digitization of hardware that routes electricity from the generating source to the porch light bulb, and it isn’t the machine-to-machine communications that allow these components to send vast amounts of information to data warehouses. Rather, it is the analysis of that information resulting in better-informed operational and business decisions.

A bright future for Text Analytics - potentially...

admin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:02:53 +0000

Précis:

Blog comments. Reviews. Call centre transcripts. Social Media Content...Etc. Etc. These days, textual data comes in many forms, and from many sources. But what to do with it all? Many companies have terabytes of the stuff, but have yet to understand how to exploit it properly.

Text analytics technology remains young, and there is a general and basic lack of knowledge and understanding in many companies. Most of the early adopters are in web and mobile start-ups in certain technology-centric industries, and they tend to be based in English-speaking countries. The question is whether the analytics industry can push on to new territories and sectors. And whether privacy concerns, and security questions, including around the use of cloud-based services, will prove to be long-term obstacles. The potential is vast – but so, maybe, are the challenges.
