Playing Together is Sharing Together (Part 2)
BI & Social Media work together
Playing Together is Sharing Together (Part 1)
The value of information is increasing and it is the human being that decides the real value. Classical BI has a somewhat carefully, safe way of using data. It source is often trusted (own corporate system or datawarehouse). Social media are completely different. They use a multitude of sources. Also the safety or reliability cannot always be guaranteed.
