How can Eurostat and the national statistical offices in Europe make use of Big Data in collecting and producing official statistics? This question was the focus of the Eurostat Big Data Event, which took place earlier this year in Rome and was organized by Dialogic in collaboration with DevStat. The outcomes of the workshops and other sessions at this conference have been summarised and can be found in the technical report, also prepared by Dialogic and DevStat.
The conclusions may be of interest to other private and public organizations wondering if Big Data can add value for them. Dialogic is currently involved in various similar projects, including with the Ministry of OCW and the ITU (International Telecommunications Union), where the same question will be answered. If your organization is also considering the potential of Big Data, please contact us: Tommy van der Vorst (030-2150593, vandervorst@dialogic.nl) or Reg Brennenraedts (030-2150590, brennenraedts@dialogic.nl).
