Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman, S&P Global
We often see the information boom and the availability of massive data as a positive development. But it is a double-edged sword in reality. In a sense, you have data that can be accessed easily and utilized for business decision-making, while on the flip side, it has become a complicated process discerning truth from falsehood. Businesses need a real strategy in consuming and synthesizing data to make meaningful decisions. Hence the role of organizations that are providing data integration solutions and business intelligence have become even more crucial today. S&P Global comes in as an important business intelligence provider in today’s data-driven business environment. It stands at the intersection of data, technology, and expertise, providing clarity, conviction, and actionable insights to the world’s largest and most complex industries. This powerhouse drives global markets and fosters prosperity across every corner of the economy.
