You don't need to look around the technology industry too much to hear phrases such as "data is the new gold" or "data is the new oil", but like any good marketing phrase, it is based on a degree of fact.

It is certain that the modern organisation is becoming increasingly digital, transforming into one that is relying on data and digital workflows for its success, however when it comes to data, it's not how much data you have, it's what you do with it and learn from it that will determine who really wins.

That's the focus of this week's podcast as I'm joined by NetApp's Director, Technology and Strategy, Matt Watts.

In this episode, Matt provides fascinating insights into the modern data world, how extracting valuable information from data is a significant advantage to an organisation, how 3rd party companies working with storage vendors is critical to the future of data management and how companies like Microsoft, Amazon and IBM with Watson are commoditising machine learning and artificial intelligence to a point where, organisations of all sizes, can take advantage of these very smart tools to give them insights and understanding that just a few years ago was out of the reach for all but the very wealthiest of companies.
