Universitas IGM continues to show its participation in every education in Indonesia, said John, Thursday (8/4/2022).

In his presentation in front of thousands of participants, John discussed the concept of big data that has existed for many years. Most organizations now understand that if they capture all the data that flows into their business, they can implement analytics and gain significant value from that data.

Even in the 1950s, decades before someone pronounced the term big data, businesses used basic analytics (basic numbers in manually studied spreadsheets).

To figure out the insights and trends that prevailed at the time. Big data analysis is speed and efficiency. A venture will gather information, run analytics, and explore information that can be used for future decisions, he said.

He said this concept is also applied in business that can identify the insights gained for immediate decisions. The ability to work faster and stay agile gives organizations a competitive edge they didn't have before, he concluded. (andhiko tungga alam/dzulfiqor ammar)
