Data Data Data — Where is the Oil?

The Adage Of The Century — “Data Is The New Oil”

Data as a raw material, has created an entire economy around it. The technologically advanced 21st century has witnessed a rapid rate of adoption of data-driven services, to aid the performance of other sectors. The true value of data is produced after it is refined and filtered — usable data acts as a decision making tool, helping deal with pertinent issues in a proactive manner. The demand for more data seems to be unceasing, as the business dynamics keep undergoing radical shifts worldwide in the blink of an eye.

Data — The New Oil, Until It Caught Fire

COVID-19 has brought with it many hardships, and a very glaringly obvious maxim — More data might not necessarily equal better information, based on which actions can be undertaken.

The demand is not just for raw data — it is for up-to-date, relevant and precise data. False positives, disorganized collection and irrelevant information have all posed hurdles to the path of gradual recovery. Businesses have had to face repetitive obstacles, even after identifying potential regions of downfall. It is not due to the lack of data but due to the unavailability of data that is filtered to cater to specific needs. Disasters; be it physical, financial or commercial, can be predicted with the help of data, but what next? Can the “digital oil” minimize the predicted risk of all the possible catastrophes?

Yes.
