The data sharing surgery
The challenge
We’re told we need to use data more effectively, but it can be hard to quantify the real business benefits of doing so, and even trickier to figure out what our priorities should be to implement necessary changes with the least disruption.
The Data Discovery Centre at Traffex 2-4 April 2019 brings together a team of experts who are on hand throughout the 3 days with games, guidance and friendly practical experience to help you figure out your plan.
