Granular Data - the key to an agile progressive organisation

- 

Gert Botha is the co-founder and director of Hiving Technology, a leading Internet of Things (IoT) and single identity provider with offices in the UAE and Ireland. Born in South Africa, Gert studied commerce and information technologies before starting a corporate IT career in the manufacturing industry. After gaining valuable corporate experience, he founded, developed, and grew three consulting and technology businesses over the last two decades. Hiving Technology is the latest. As a result, Gert gained extensive cross-functional business, information technology, and consulting experience working with clients in government and various industry sectors internationally. He is recognized as a global thought leader in the Internet of Things, Digital Disruption, and Smart Cities.

Gert, throughout his career, used technology not only to improve process efficiency and save costs but to innovate and ensure business growth and progress. However, he soon realized that organizations' lack of progress and agility directly relates to the availability of quantitative granular data. Without detailed quality data in near real-time, responding and adapting to change effectively is impossible and results in a wait-and-see approach.
