Business Matters: Too Much Information 07 Feb 14

Fri, 7 Feb 14

This special edition of Business Matters focuses on data. Do we need to store so much of it? Who should control it? Should we - the individuals, the customers, the bloggers and the tweeters - have the power to say, 'Stop'? Should we be handed back control of our own information? Mark Whittaker visits The Eisenhower Centre, a data storage facility deep beneath the streets of central London. In the studio: Alan Perkins, CTO of data storage specialists Rackspace, alongside Ken Cukier, The Economist's Data Editor and co-author of the book Big Data. In Bangalore: Santosh Nair, owner and Managing Director of Analytic Edge, which examines and interprets data on behalf of big name clients worldwide. We'll also hear from Max Wallace, owner of the Mysheriff.co.uk business directories, and James Smith, founder of virtual currency vault, Elliptic.
