The New Data Democracy: How Big Data Will Revolutionize the Lives of Small Businesses and Consumers is a new research and trends forecast report from Intuit and Emergent Research (that's us).
The report is on big data for the little guy, which is Intuit's phrase for describing how the data and analytics revolution is empowering consumers and small businesses with new opportunities to improve their lives and businesses.
Big Data is clearly a hot topic these days. But most discussions focus on how big data will help big businesses or create new opportunities for high tech startups.
This research suggests that big data will also help traditional small businesses and consumers by giving them access to cost-effective, sophisticated, data-powered tools and analytical systems currently only available to large organizations.
