Learn how to harness the vast quantities of data available to your organization, to maximize value and sustain a competitive advantage, at an IBM webinar today, Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 2:00 p.m. ET, "Big Data, Big Benefits."

Companies no longer can feed off the usual data tools: historical analysis, internal silos, reactive responses, and retroactive planning. The data your organization needs to compete is there; you just need to find the right tools to analyze it. That's where our webinar can help.

Our speaker will be John Choi, IBM director of product management for big-data. Choi will let you know about the top use cases for big-data. He'll talk about how your enterprise can reap big-data benefits, including developing personalized views of customers, gaining instant awareness of fraud and risk, and more. And he'll describe the latest innovations in the IBM big-data portfolio, including stream computing and enterprise-grade Hadoop. Whether you are just getting started with big-data or are already well under way, this is a webinar you won't want to miss.

Information and analytics are creating a competitive advantage for nearly two-thirds of organizations responding to a recent survey. That figure is up 70 percent in the past two years alone. Be one of those companies; join us for our big-data webinar today, Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 2:00 p.m. ET.

And don't forget to join us again tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec. 12, at 2:00 p.m. ET for a CMO webinar: "A New Way of Listening to Customers," with Richard Binhammer, who has provided social media and corporate reputation management for businesses since 2006 -- that's historical epochs in social media time.

We're looking forward to seeing you at our two webinars. And if you can't make them live, no problem -- they will both be archived at the original URLs.

I particularly liked the movie example, of studios using big-data to predict successful films. The screenwriter William Goldman (BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, THE PRINCESS BRIDE) said 20 years ago that nobody knows why movies fail or succeed. That seems to be changing due to big-data and analytics. 

The webinar will be archived here.

That was a really informative webinar. I particularly liked seeing all the use cases: Talk about a wide variety of organizations using big-data and analytics and getting great results across a broad array of departments and uses.

State and local government agencies would love to get their hands around big-data. All they lack is adequate data storage and computer power, and enough staff.

In the 1970 science fiction thriller
Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.
