Big Data Indonesia Conference: Understanding the Technology

The 4th Big Data Indonesia Conference

On May 12-13, 2018, Jakarta hosted a conference on using big data technology in Indonesia. It was the fourth conference organized by the Big Data Indonesia community. The conference set out to discuss the latest technology for putting big data to work, and it invited representatives from every sector that drives Indonesia's progress to take part. The sectors involved included government, companies, academics and research institutions.

The step taken by the Big Data Indonesia community deserves recognition. In an age of ever more advanced technology, a group of innovative individuals wants to share knowledge and experience to move technology use in Indonesia forward. The technology is still not widely known to the public, so it needs special attention to spread its benefits to a wide audience. That is why Big Data Indonesia works to help people understand the concept of big data and how it is used.

Why Big Data Technology Matters

The conference brought the sectors together to exchange ideas on how to apply and manage big data technology in Indonesia. The community stressed to participants that big data technology is a key to Indonesia's progress. With its large population, Indonesia has the potential to be a major producer and user of data.

A large population goes hand in hand with a large demand for goods and services. The data from all of the public's online activity, economic activity in particular, matters because entrepreneurs can use it to start a business or grow an existing one. Using the data people generate in the right way is the key to moving on to big data technology.

That is why it is important to know how big data technology is used and processed. Anyone can use it: large and small businesses, government and academics. One of its benefits is that it lets users see the real condition of the public more clearly.
