Data is often referred to as the “new oil” when referring to the digital economy.  Just like raw oil, raw data isn’t valuable in and of itself, but rather the value is created when it’s processed and refined.  When it comes to large Enterprises and Corporations, more often than not they are sitting on top of vast amounts of raw data from their business processes that is sitting there untapped and unrealized.  This is an advantage that most startups do not have…thus giving advantages to those that can unlock the data under their feet.

In this podcast, I'm talking to Franco Patano, a Senior Solutions Architect from Databricks on the topic of untapped data.
