Every company needs a data strategy. The exponential increase in the amount of data and the substantial improvement in computer power embark the development of data science and artificial intelligence that covers machine learning.

With the rapid growth in big data and the global smart city blueprint in mind, it is vital for every company and government institution to have an effective and efficient data strategy in place.
