Big data can be used to collect and develop statistics on the information society in a more efficient manner. Dialogic developed a strategy for the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to gather and develop statistics based on big data.
The ITU is a UN agency that promotes and coordinates global access to telecommunications. As part of this mission, the ITU's development branch (ITU-D) collects and publishes over one hundred indicators on telecommunications across more than two hundred countries. Big data can provide significant added value by collecting existing indicators in new ways and enabling the development of entirely new indicators.
Dialogic presented its findings at the World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Symposium (WTIS), which took place in Tbilisi (Georgia) at the end of November 2014. Dialogic also contributed to the report Measuring the Information Society by ITU.
