In my post So you want to be a (Big) Data Hero I highlighted several examples of impressive payback from projects around predictive maintenance of railcar wheels, hurricane tracking, crop insurance, water leakage etc. As I continue research on my next book I have been posting several other examples on New Florence.
The primary data sources used in each case are unique, the volumes of data often mind boggling and they are not just trying faster ERP reporting or pretty visualization here. Also, very few of them talk about the underlying tool, the focus is on business payback.
