[kictanet] Why are companies in Africa - From Telcos to Big Ticket Retailers - blind to the immense possibilities of BigData?

Sat May 18 07:48:29 EAT 2013

There is a lot of talk about Big Data but in Africa we are playing at the fringes of this immense opportunity. From Telcos to Big Ticket retailers to National Postal Services with immense customer information on behavioral trends we seem to just stop there. 

What is hindering us? Is this too much Mumbo Jumbo? What can we do to unlock this mindset and tap into the treasure trove awaiting us on the other side?
