From an operations perspective, big data endorses efficiency, imparts the ability to forecast demand, reduces cost and improves revenue for the providers. The growing recognition among investors towards big data as an ingredient and catalyst to digitize the energy sector is an indicative of its `Big Potential'.Yet, many companies in sectors like the Oil and Gas, have been slow to acknowledge the smartness inducing insights of big data technologies. On the other hand, implementing big data initiatives has its own set of challenges. For instance, from an energy industrialist's perspective, tapping into big data resources calls for large scale installations of measuring units. Besides, drawing insights from unstructured data--coming in from multiple, remote, non-related areas like oil wells or smart grids--require solutions that specifically understand the nature of the data.. But companies that operate in this sector now have an edge over it--thanks to improvement in areas like predictive analytics.Curating content for this edition has been a dive into exploring the unique proposition of service providers, changing trends, and a glimpse into how big data would transform the energy sector as we know it. We hope the valuable insights from industry thought-leaders and the innovative solutions from leading as well as emerging companies featured in this edition will help you in making informed decisions for your business.Let us know your thoughts.Big Data: Digitizing EnergyEDITOR'S DESKCharlotte SmithManaging Editoreditor@energytechreview.com
