Big data

Data is fast becoming a central pillar of the economy. In 2021, data-enabled UK service exports accounted for 85% of total service exports and were already worth some £259 billion. The vast quantities of complex data threaten to overwhelm companies daily. Harnessing the power of Big Data yields valuable insights that enhance decision-making and bolster confidence in business strategy.
