Just as the collection and analysis of data changed the way many baseball teams make player decisions, the Moneyball of book and movie fame, harnessing the power of data is key to success in business today and tomorrow. Providing an understanding of the how and why data management and analysis is the mission behind the new blog ‘A World of Data’ published by the new media firm Knowledge Connection LLC.

A World of Data covers the sources and uses of data, basics of the methods pros use to manage large volumes of data and provide it to management in a format for decision making, and a little bit of the insights and opinions of the guide for the journey, blogger Matthew Birkett. There will also be coverage of Big Data, a fairly new business term generally referring to the large volumes of data generated and which must be tamed to provide valuable information for business management.

“I have long enjoyed working with numbers, other data and their applications in the business world” says Birkett. “I want to use my words to take readers on a journey into the world of enrichment and opportunity that data can provide.”

In addition to drawing parallels between the application of data to baseball and the business world, topics covered so far include:

• Why databases are used to manage volumes of data;
• An introduction to the world of database programming;
• Discussion of whether the practice of data mining constitutes an invasion of privacy; and,
• A glossary of database terminology to help in understanding the profession’s jargon

Regular visitors to A World of Data will find updates and insights on those topics and more along the journey planned by database blogger Birkett.
