Cutting data costs millions

This is a case study in how big corporations slashing costs cut their data inputs to the bone. They don't invest in getting the data which can optimise their operations and so they lose the people who can use the data as well. All the talk about Big Data is just hot air - particularly in Australia - unless big organisations have the skills and understanding to use it.
