Episode 9: How anonymizing and extracting revenue from your data is the new water, not the new oil with Gary LaFever, CEO of Anonos
Hi, I am Thomas F. Anglero, the host and Cognizant's Nordic CTO and Innovation Officer (CTIO).  On this episode of the Cognizant Leadership and Innovation podcast, we explain the power of data.  Why collecting and harvesting value from your data is the most important thing you should be doing with your data.   The hype around data and accumulating data never explains how to generate revenue from your data until this podcast.  Gary LaFever, co-CEO, and General Counsel for Anonos do a masterful job explaining data. Gary explained how data is more like water than oil (you can generate revenue forever versus consuming it once), he explains how to keep your client data private but create a new data set that is reliable but private.   Gary explains data simply and effectively so that all leaders can implement a new revenue model on all the data they are accumulating with their IoT, Web4.0, and other projects.
