Big Data is everywhere! In all major industries

The last weeks I outlined several industries that can benefit from Big Data. However, this was just a short overview on what is possible. Let me use this post to sum up the industries that benefit from Big Data. You can get an overview by this tag.
In the first post I started with manufacturing. This traditional industry sees major benefits from Big Data, especially with Industry 4.0. You can read the full post here. Big Data is already used heavily by another industry – the finance sector. Major banks, insurances and financial service providers use Big Data. I outlined the possibilities in this post.
Big Data is also a Big Deal for the public sector. Not just that the Obama administration announced to make more data available – it also gives major benefits to smart cities and alike. You can read the full post here. Often included in public sector is healthcare. Healthcare sees great benefits from using Big Data as well. I’ve summed up the benefits here.
The oil and gas industry can also benefit from Big Data by applying them to sensors while drilling. A sector where you might not expect benefits from IT or Big Data is agriculture. But Big Data can give major benefits to this industry as well – as described here.
Next week I will start to look at the functions within a company – to see where Big Data is within a company – independent from the industry.
