Big data is becoming more prevalent and readily available. It contains a wealth of information with great potential. However, these datasets are massive and difficult to process. This presentation will demonstrate, through examples, how the public and private sectors use modern data transformation technology to produce some interesting and useful results with big data, as well as integrating it with other data for viewing by a broader audience.
