IBM hosted its annual IBM Insights On Demand conference to discuss big data analytics trends. The conference highlighted how streaming analytics is becoming more common in enterprises for real-time insights, how financial companies are using sensors and cloud-based solutions innovatively to address big data problems, and how data lakes allow organizations to analyze both structured and unstructured data at rest or in motion. Insurance companies are also using telematics and smart sensors in vehicles to better process claims data and reduce processing times from 2.5 days to just 1.3 days.
