Speculation on anything and everything big data is typical throughout the year, but even this already popular subject is seeing a spike. From Computer Weekly comes a countdown in regards to big data called the Top 10 Information Management Stories of 2012.
The article points to specific themes that popped up after sifting through articles that deal big data and information management.
