How 10 industries are using big data to win big

Two and a half quintillion bytes or 2,500,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. That’s how much data humanity generates every single day. And the amount is increasing; we’ve created 90% of the world’s data in the last two years alone.

Every day, humanity generates an astonishing two and a half quintillion bytes of data, and 90% of the world’s data has been created in just the last two years. Much of this data is unstructured, coming from sources like documents, social media, and customer interactions that cannot be easily processed by traditional methods. However, advanced cognitive computing services are changing the landscape, turning this deluge of data into actionable insights.

At ELA Analytics, we specialize in helping businesses leverage cognitive computing and big data to drive innovation, improve customer experiences, and optimize operations. Here’s how 10 industries are transforming their processes and boosting their bottom lines by partnering with us.

Telecom providers are under constant pressure to provide seamless customer service.
