“Big data is nothing without big judgment.

You have to commit to action. At the end of

the day you have to make sure that your

investment, and connecting a dark asset,

achieves ultimate business value.”Source: Joseph M. Bradley, Vice President, Internet of

Everything Practice, Cisco Consulting Services

“I first talked about dark data on my blog to

introduce it as both a threat and a potential

opportunity for most companies, and I think

the threat comes in when there’s a lot of data

silos that exist in enterprise.”

“This [dark data] needs to be on the mindset

of every CEO and every CIO because if you

don’t figure it out, your competitor

probably will.”

“When you're talking about the risk of dark

data, in order for this stuff to really create

value, we like to use a term of

democratization of data analytics.”

“To become a true data-driven organization,

you have to empower a large number of

people in your organization to work with data

tools, understand what data they're looking at,

drive their own insights, and make their

decisions around them.”

“You need to have a very good framework in

sorting out where business value lies. Think

about, ‘What is that dark asset?’

‘How am I going to capture that data?’

‘How am I going to plug-in loads to

impact process?’”

“You need to be able to articulate business

value in the language of that business owner.”

“Manufacturing is ripe for connecting dark

assets and dark data. The other industry that

has a huge opportunity is clearly retail.”

“Advances in the public sector, such as smart

parking and water management, are blazing

the trail for many enterprises with regards to

collecting, managing and integrating data into

business processes.”
