What have we learned?
• Analysts are more and more in demand
• Companies cant be expected to capitalize on open data unless they have the capabilities to properly analyze and mine their own data for knowledge
• Data is a disrupter
• Many companies don’t identify as being open data enabled companies even though they might be using open data of some sort
• Data is the new currency
• Large enterprises are starting to realize the intrinsic value of their own data and are looking to develop strategies to open up their data to a wider developer community to fuel innovation
• Enterprise, SME and start ups alike are getting more engaged in open data
• Many companies aren’t sure where to start with open data OR it’s not top of mind
