Has that label only become a catchy new adver­tis­ing slo­gan for com­pa­nies to show­case their sup­pos­ed­ly inno­v­a­tive pow­er? How much do com­pa­nies real­ly earn or save with data? How do the earn­ings rate in rela­tion to the expens­es for data pro­tec­tion (GDPR), infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty as well as for the inevitable IT-infrastructure?

In her Duet inter­view with Richard Heil­er Martínez, cor­po­rate finance spe­cial­ist, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of the recent book Big Data and Law, dis­cuss­es the bot­tom line on the cor­po­rate earn­ings from Big Data.

With the out­break of the glob­al pan­dem­ic, peo­ple are turn­ing more and more to dig­i­tal solu­tions. The num­ber of hours which we spend on our dig­i­tal devices has increased sig­nif­i­cant­ly. We are get­ting used to a cer­tain lev­el of con­ve­nience (e.g., work­ing at home). Mean­while com­pa­nies are clos­ing offices and busi­ness­es because they expect a high­er turnover from online busi­ness. How will the world look after the pandemic?

In her lat­est Duet Inter­view with Peter Wip­per­mann, a researcher in emerg­ing trends, Dr Cal­daro­la, author of Big Data and Law, dis­cuss­es the changes in our social lives.

Dr Hajo Schu­mach­er – Pho­to: Markus Hurek

Stan­dards are a way to reduce risks, improve effi­cien­cy and opti­mize key oper­a­tions. Com­pa­nies try­ing to cre­ate stand-alone solu­tions and monop­o­lies tend to rely increas­ing­ly on stan­dards, uni­ty, stream­lin­ing and com­pli­ance. Does Big Data help when it comes to assim­i­la­tion, stan­dard­i­s­a­tion, har­mon­i­sa­tion and egal­i­tar­i­an­ism and thus increas­ing efficiency?

Dr Cal­daro­la chats with jour­nal­ist Dr Hajo Schu­mach­er, author of the book “Kein Netz – wie wir unser wirk­lich­es Leben zurück­gewin­nen” , on the risks and oppor­tu­ni­ties of exces­sive stan­dard­i­s­a­tion in the dig­i­tal age.
