Big data as a driver of organizational change

Analytics can “open up many doors for healthcare organizations” of all types, including life sciences companies aiming to get new medications to patients faster or to “provide regulatory bodies with evidence of drug safety.”  Or, for payers, analytics can “answer questions about future growth, profitability and sustainability,” or help them to detect and prevent fraud.”

It still amazes me that big organizations in so many industries are still talking about what analytics can do for them.  Of course, this headline is a little deceiving as there really is no "big data" to be found.  You get a lot of clicks when you have "big data" in the headline though.
