After introducing himself and tracing his own history up to the time he started his business, Mr. Isobe began his presentation by emphasizing that system integration (SI, a service that provides all the necessary operations from planning to construction and operation of information systems) has been changing with the emergence of big data.He cited the following as the changes that will bring about: business models (providing new services to customers), work styles (reducing management costs and wasted resources through the use of IT in the company), and labor and motivation (making it possible to enforce IT utilization rules and evaluate human resources based on labor productivity).
With the spread of smartphones and tablets, the popularity of social media, the evolution of corporate IT through the evolution of cloud computing, the spread of automatic data collection by sensors, and the emergence of on-demand services using the Internet, the collection of big data is becoming possible in earnest, but "only cutting-edge processing technologies such as high-speed and distributed processing technologies and data mining technologies have attracted attention, while the crucial use value and business transformation have not been clearly identified.We don't fully understand how to effectively use big data," he pointed out.Touching on regional revitalization through the effective use of big data, he said, "We hope that cloud computing will be used to link big data to business.
