ABSTRACT
Data is the new currency.
It's an expression that is being used quite a bit of late, but it is very relevant in discussing the importance of data and the methodologies by which we manage it. And like any currency, how we manage it determines its true value. Like any currency, it can be managed wisely, or it can be managed foolishly. It can be put to good use, or it can be squandered away. The question is what factors determine the path that we take? How do we properly manage this asset and realize its full value and potential?
Data monetization is not about turning data into money. Instead, it's about taking information and turning it into opportunity. It's about the need to understand the real meaning of data to extract value from it. And it's about achieving this objective through a partnership with business and technology. In Monetizing Data Management, Peter demonstrates how true value can be realized from our data through improved data-centric approaches.
