Driven World
Amazon uses instant
personalisation to increase
revenue by
30%annually.
Netflix analyses
600 Billion
data objects a day to determine
that House of Cards will be a hit,
before it even airs.
Autonomous vehicles like ‘Jack’
stream roughly
4 terabytes
of data a day.
Data is not only the ‘new oil’.
It is the new DNA.
Data engineering is poised
to deliver the next wave of
“Vorsprung durch Technik” for
Audi.
