A few short years ago, it would be impossible to predict the precise way in which data has evolved, and just how much data we generate today. To say it has increased in the last few years would be an understatement. There has been exponential growth of new data, now commonly referred to as Big Data. Itâs not that big data didnât exist before; itâs just that itâs much, much bigger now, and itâs being generated at much faster rates, thanks to modern technology.
For example, YouTube alone boasts over 1 billion users, 300 hours of video uploaded every minute, and hundreds of millions of hours of video content watched and billions of views generated every single day. And thatâs just one website.
According to IBM, we generate 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. We are practically drowning in new data, at every second, and unless something is being done with it, all this data is rendered essentially useless. Since this is a trend that is not going away any time soon, how are we able to deal with it all?
Analyzing the data we generate, particularly online data, is an integral part of how businesses run today. It is important for businesses to understand and analyze information in order to use it to grow their company, and become more efficient with business decisions.
Moreover, because much of the data available today is user generated, with everything from emails and clicks, to tweets and Facebook posts, to uploaded photos and videos, it is all being used to gather information on clients and customers, to figure out their interests and habits, market and advertise to them, for the ultimate goal of generating sales from them.
This is why data visualization software, such as ZoomCharts charts and graphs, has been invaluable in making it easy to analyze, understand, and present data. ZoomCharts tools are completely interactive, support massive data sets, work on all modern devices including touch screens, and perform at incredibly fast speeds, to ensure that you are in total control of your data, and not the other way around.

Mutua Madrileña, KPMG, Banco Sabadell y Oracle han participado en la jornada de Digitalización y Big Data en los Sectores Financiero y Asegurador organizada por Executive Forum, con la colaboración de Vózpopuli. Durante el encuentro, las cuatro compañías han compartido con los asistentes sus experiencias y conocimientos en relación a la transformación digital y la importancia del análisis de dato para ser líderes en estos sectores.
Jesús Cacho, director del periódico online Vózpopuli, ha presentado estas jornadas ante un público formado, en su mayoría, por profesionales del mundo digital y de los sectores financiero y asegurador.
El director de Transformación Digital de Mutua Madrileña, Aitor del Coso, ha sido el primero en compartir con los asistentes la visión y la experiencia de la compañía aseguradora con respecto a estos procesos. En ese sentido, ha desvelado datos tan significativos de este desarrollo como que ya el 18% de las primas se contratan vía online, sin ninguna interacción personal, mientras que el 60% de los clientes han consultado otro canal y los precios previamente en la red, por lo que “hay que estar a la altura de lo que el cliente quiere” y manifiesta a través de sus nuevos hábitos de consumo a través de Internet, los dispositivos móviles y las redes sociales. En este proceso de evolución, el big data ha de ser un aliado para mejorar la experiencia de los clientes, siempre y cuando los datos se acompañen de conclusiones y se interconecten con el desarrollo del negocio. En definitiva, para disfrutar de una posición de liderazgo digital, del Coso ha destacado que es necesario contar con cuatro factores clave: una estrategia, capacidad de actuación, una organización de personas con talento y una cultura digital.
En representación de KPMG, el socio responsable de Estrategia y Operaciones para el sector financiero en Management Consulting y el senior manager responsable de Data & Analytics, Carlos Trevijano y Unai Beato, han desvelado la expectativa de que en 2030 el 70% de los ingresos de las entidades financieras provengan de los conocidos como nativos digitales, un dato significativo de la transformación radical que ya estamos viviendo. Por esta razón, “los canales deben estar adaptados a esta nueva realidad” que evoluciona rápida y constantemente, manteniendo la armonía y la coherencia entre los ámbitos online y offline. En este sentido, han hecho un especial hincapié en la importancia que cobra el análisis de datos para conocer mejor al cliente, así como la necesidad de involucrar a todas las áreas de las compañías en este proceso.
A continuación, el director de Big Data Lab de Banco Sabadell, Luis Pascual, ha intervenido para compartir la experiencia de la entidad bancaria en estos procesos. Ha explicado que “somos un banco pionero en la transformación digital”, así como que ya “contamos con unos 2 millones de clientes digitales”, destacando las oportunidades que traen consigo las nuevas tecnologías para mejorar la experiencia de un cliente que presenta nuevos hábitos de consumo. Con respecto al, cada vez, mayor volumen de datos digitales que se generan, ha destacado la importancia de su análisis para aplicar su valor en aspectos como la prevención de riesgos y de fraude, en la eficiencia de los procesos, en la personalización de los productos y en la generación de nuevos servicios.
Finalmente, Beatriz Vega, architec for Strategic Solutions at Financial Industry de Oracle, ha participado en la jornada mostrando su optimismo de cara a las oportunidades de negocio que presenta la digitalización. De este modo, ha compartido su experiencia, fruto de la observación de los comportamientos de sus clientes que son disruptivos, es decir, pioneros en el ámbito digital. Estos se caracterizan por conocer bien al cliente a través del dato para ofrecerle servicios y productos innovadores y sorprendentes. En este sentido, la capacidad predictiva, la agilidad y la prontitud en la toma de decisiones que posibilitan las nuevas plataformas digitales se reflejan en el governance de estas compañías. Asimismo, son capaces de integrar en una sola dirección los distintos canales que tienen a su disposición para mejorar la interacción con sus clientes, conocerlos, impactarles y acompañarles.

The Promise of Data: Will this Bring a Revolution in Health Care?
(March 22 to 27, 2015)

-----
It has now become an orthodoxy that we are moving into the age of 'Big Data'. This derives from ever increasing processing power and the vast surge in connectedness - with mobile technologies at the forefront and sensors in nearly all appliances, we are set to have 50 billion devices by 2020 connected in the cloud. It is argued that medical decisions can be truly evidence based, combining the most complete medical science with personal data, drawing where appropriate on 24/7 monitoring through mobile devices and patient reported outcome measures. Lifestyle advice and preventive action can be honed with ever greater accuracy. Benefits from treatment, its best timing, lowest cost, better understood risk, and more predictable side-effects should all flow from this data transition, bringing lower costs and higher value.
Corporations are competing in both investment and rhetoric. In 2013 Google launched a new subsidiary, Calico, which Larry Page claimed would represent 'moonshot thinking around health care', and there have been many similar claims. But how is all this justified? And how can we ensure that those advances which do arise from this new control of data truly benefit patients, rather than just the provider - and that this will be a benefit distributed across the social gradient and globally?
What are the risks on the horizon? Data is often siloed and used for competitive advantage. Protocols around privacy could be tested to destruction; for instance, it is possible to reverse engineer anonymized data to identify individuals. Forbes magazine even reports a case of medical data being sold on eBay. How might these risks be best mitigated?
This session will review the claims for Big Data and its true potential, and seek to identify the conditions under which it should yield the greatest benefits to patients and populations.

EFI Planted Forests Facility Summer School, Palencia’18
Organised by iuFOR and EFI's Planted Forest Facility (formerly EFIATLANTIC)
Palencia (España)

Hosted by iuFOR ( Universidad de Valladolid & INIA) and Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenierías Agrarias, Universidad de Valladolid
Target public:
Graduate students (Masters and PhD) in forest sciences, forest geomatics or data science
Practitioners and IT staff from forest companies, administrations and R&D institutes
Target outcomes:
By the end of the course the participants will have a comprehensive overview of forest data management and analysis including relevant R skills to develop forest models at stand and tree levels and a foundation on cloud simulation of forest systems.
Rationale:
Forest management is facing different challenges due to the magnitude of the current environmental problems (climate change, invasive species, biodiversity crisis, etc.) and the growing demand for goods and services by the society.
Furthermore, the current Knowledge Society paradigm requires professionals to integrate different skills into their specific domain effectively; for example, the management of big databases, including analysis, modeling and decision making.
Although there are some local initiatives such as the DataForest MSc programme at University of Valladolid this specific type of education and training in data management and analysis is not available to forest managers and forest scientists. In general personnel involved in forest management and its environs have a good working knowledge of forest management systems and methods.
However this knowledge could be further enhanced by skills in other complimentary fields, such as database management, computer programming, data analysis, decision making through operational research techniques, geographic information systems and remote sensing.
