Today more and more companies are exploiting and putting into practice the possibilities advanced data analysis offers them to boost their business.
“Numerous examples are to be found in our everyday life: platforms like Amazon, Netflix or Spotify use it to recommend us products, films and music respectively, while UBER and UPS exploit it to optimise their route planning, and different retailers rely on it to offer us personalised discount coupons. In the manufacturing sector, the main goal is to improve the industrial processes making them more efficient”

These new technological resources are made possible by a computing paradigm called Big Data. In industrial processes, data come from many sources and are gathered in real time and on a large scale, calling for advanced storage and processing systems. Big Data solutions are what make it possible to handle all this information and turn it into business opportunities.
In some areas Big Data has evolved into another concept called Smart Data, which prioritises quality of data over quantity and attaches greater weight to selective storage and processing of the information considered useful. This paradigm makes possible data analytics projects that have a real, tangible positive impact on process efficiency, with direct repercussions for the firm's profit and loss account or on the quality of services provided.
