What have we learned?

• Analysts are more and more in demand

• Companies cant be expected to capitalize on open data unless they have the capabilities to properly analyze and mine their own data for knowledge

• Data is a disrupter

• Many companies don’t identify as being open data enabled companies even though they might be using open data of some sort

• Data is the new currency

• Large enterprises are starting to realize the intrinsic value of their own data and are looking to develop strategies to open up their data to a wider developer community to fuel innovation

• Enterprise, SME and start ups alike are getting more engaged in open data

• Many companies aren’t sure where to start with open data OR it’s not top of mind

– Have a champion to lead from within

– Build internal trust/relationships with departments and subject matter experts

– Clearly define the problem to be solved

– Modify their procurement process to allow start-ups and SME’s to participate

– Work with challenge finalists to improve their solutions

– Be prepared to implement solutions should they meet the criteria

– Bring open data to the table to enable problem definition and solution
