What is Smart Data?
What is Smart Data?
Data that is being collected at an exponential rate is collectively known as big data. In its raw form, data is meaningless. So, to gain maximum benefit, it needs to be processed and turned into actionable information. As per an article by Forbes, keeping the rate of data growth in mind, approximately 1.7 megabytes of new information will be created every second for each human being on the planet by the year 2020.

Smart data is formatted digital information that can be acted upon before being sent for further data consolidation & analytics. It is a result of clear focus on purpose, insights, actions & resulting outcomes. Thus, it refers to the data that is decisive, valuable and actionable in real time. Smart data facilitates analysis and interpretation of data for better decision making and optimized data driven functions. The term smart data is often associated with IoT (Internet of Things).
