The University of Amsterdam and ORTEC Consulting Group launch big data research project

The research project focuses on the factors that influence the success rate of a big data strategy, the role of scientific institutions in the big data industry, and ways in which the use of big data can be stimulated. In addition, the study will address how companies attract and retain skilled programmers and analysts who are specialized in the field. The project’s data collection phase will last until the 19th of September. Preliminary results will be published at the end of October.
