Big data isn't just a buzzword. With 2.5 billion gigabytes of data created every day, and the quantity growing rapidly, big data is a way for government to change the way it operates and delivers services to citizens. As IBM's CEO Ginni Rometty said, "information is our generation's next natural resource."
