People produced information about five Exabyte’s.

C Quo Vadis Big Data?
New challenges and opportunities
Decisions based on data, analyzed in real-time
Increase profit, performance, reputation
Also important for government and research
But: It is neither a new Kondratieff nor a revolution of Business.
“Big Data” is not a new era of business
administration, but it provides ways of
managing data with the goal to identify new
patterns explaining both: our life as well as
natural conditions!
