Inteltrax: Top Stories, January 2 to January 6

January 9, 2012

Inteltrax, the data fusion and business intelligence information service, captured three key stories germane to search this week, specifically, the way many industries are rightfully and wrongfully utilizing analytics.

One of the best stories about traditional industries embracing big data was our story, “Police and Intelligence Communities Share Analytics Needs” which showed how law enforcement and data mining are a match made in heaven.

Slightly further down the scale was our look, “Auto Industry Needs Analytics to Survive,” which showed some small successes in the car industry with analytics and encouraged a wider adoption of practices.

And something completely different came from our article, “Online Reputation Analytics a Mixed Bag,” which chronicled the companies that use analytics to gauge a person’s online reputation and fix it. Our opinion is not so high, however.

This is one of the most exciting aspects of big data analytics. It’s fun to see how established businesses and industries utilize the technology for improvement. At least in most cases (We’re looking at you Reputation.com). Keep up with us as we follow more industry exploits in the world of big data analytics.
