When machine learning matures to the point that it can handle unstructured data (still an issue
today), when organizations openly share data, and when algorithms begin to interact with each
other more freely, machine learning will be embedded in all systems, devices, machines, and
software.
That will enable highly context-sensitive insight at both the organizational and individual levels. We
can only guess at the level of automation that will result, but the impact on business – and society –
will be significant.
Already, commercial machine-learning applications based on these technologies are available, and
more are being created all the time. That is why business leaders should engage now with trusted
providers that can help them evaluate data structures and availability, free up information from
siloed systems, and identify the richest areas for machine-fueled insight and improvement.

Big Data is neither a problem nor a solution in itself, or even a single technology. It‘s not important
how many …bytes of data business has accumulated. The issue is how to get value from Big Data
by exploiting its combination of speed, complexity, and diversity?
It‘s an opportunity to develop a foundation for decision management systems, incorporate new
business signals into human and machine workflows, and drive growth and profit through
innovation. One of the most popular aspects of Big Data today is the realm of predictive analytics.
Examples of Big Data Opportunities
 Make information transparent and usable at a higher frequency
e.g. enhance the customer’s experience as it’s happening
 Identify hidden relationships, patterns, and trends within data
e.g. anticipate and avert business problems or risks before they materialize
 Transform inventory allocation from a batch to an interactive process
e.g. accurately predict consumer demand against stock levels and adjust promotions in-the-moment

The Internet of Things is a network of physical objects – vehicles, machines, home appliances, and
more – that use sensors and APIs to connect and exchange data over the Internet.
The IoT depends on a whole host of technologies – such as application programming interfaces
(APIs) that connect devices to the Internet. Other key IoT technologies are Big Data management
tools, predictive analytics, AI and machine learning, the cloud, and radio-frequency identification
(RFID).
