- How have you incorporated social media into your own work?
- Regularly (almost daily) I read periodicals, articles, blogs and communications on technology. But now I augment my understanding with feedback from social media.
- Coolest current project?
- Our vehicle route optimization system.
- Boldest IT prediction:
- Technology continues to advance at faster rates than ever before, so selecting one is not easy. However, I believe that the accuracy in predictive analytics will reach new heights as a result of improved tools, the mining of big data, and the convergence of corporate data with data from social media. The results from these analyses will provide new insights on how we can improve our business models and processes in ways we have never seen before.
