Data is the kind of ubiquitous resource that we can shape to provide new innovations and new insights, and it's all around us, and it can be mined very easily.

Data is the fabric of the modern world: just like we walk down pavements, so we trace routes through data, and build knowledge and products out of it.

Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.

I want to see us remain convinced that software matters in the future.

Data is cost. It takes money to create data, store it, clean it, and throw resources at it to learn anything from it.

Our ability to do great things with data will make a real difference in every aspect of our lives.

In short, software is eating the world.

There's definitely a huge opportunity for businesses to transform their operations and decision making by using data.

With faster Internet and better computers, you'd better believe we're creating and consuming more digital data.

In almost every job now, people use software and work with information to enable their organisation to operate more effectively.
