SOD Big Data! Most of what you're keeping is digital landfill

Opportunity for principles/practices of infonomics

Suggesting analytics has hit its limit reminds me of that late 1800s US Patent & Trademark Office commissioner, Charles H. Duell who suggested "Everything that can be invented has been invented." Hogwash! (To use a common 1800s term) At Gartner we're tracking a number of emergent technologies including autonomous analytics that will slice through today's Big Data like a knife through hot butter. Regardless, there's certainly a cost-benefit argument for "defensible disposal" using the infonomics models we've developed at Gartner for quantifying the economic (or relative) value of an information asset. --Doug Laney, VP Research, Gartner, @doug_laney
