In the case of LinkedIn its information is more accurate than your most current HR data.
- Big Data - Data assets will not be managing the new infrastructure, but valuing it as an important corporate asset. Organizations are trying to get value from all the data they generate, and the leading organizations of the future will be judged by the quality of their predictive algorithms. Information-centric companies will be using the data to turn products into services.
