Big Data Analytics in Energy & Utilities

What are big data in the contacts of energy & utilities, and how/where can the utilities find value in the data. In this C-level presentation we discussed the three prime areas: grid operations, smart metering and asset & workforce management. A section on cognitive computing for utilities have been omitted from the presentation due to confidentiality - but I tell you - it is mind-blowing perspectives on how IBM Watson will help utilities plan and optimize their operations in the near future!
