In line with the “Data is the commodity – competence is the key” motto, the IDC Central Europe GmbH and the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH are leading the „#Big Data in #Austria“ study1 together. Based on a holistic analysis that reflects the market, research and education situation, recommendations on enhancing the Austrian Big Data tool are submitted. Therefore, the study provides a basis for the effective management of Big Data projects and the identification of innovative business and research fields.
