On Wed, February 5th, “Economist Events” is hosting one of the most important events of 2020, “Open Source Data Collection”. For this event The Economist has invited many leading UK-based companies. The event is relevant not only for representatives in technology but also for those who work on matters of policy, finance, and academia. The plan is to create an interactive discussion and debate about the future of data collection.
The focus of the debate will cover three main key points:
- What are the new use cases of open source data collection?
- Are consumers winning or losing from open source data collection?
- What does the evolution of proxy networks tell us about the future of data collection?
Today it is clearly evident that digital retail cannot survive without IP Proxy networks. In addition, advertisers find it to be the only effective channel to combat ad fraud.
Data and data collection are leading the agenda across the industry. Currently every business relies on data collection because online data is becoming more and more relevant in staying ahead of the competition. But to keep these gates open, every business using data collection has to ensure its domain integrity and maintain ethical management. Every person who is a part of e-commerce knows about the concept of mystery shoppers. Mystery shoppers, in fact, have been in existence for 400 years. But, not any more.
Today’s mystery shoppers, sought for competitive intelligence, can easily be traced and blocked from the sites. The scenario has completely changed. Now, it is the open source data collection that derives and drives competitiveness and an open free market. IP proxy networks are the key to it. Above all, in today’s digital age, it is the data that helps businesses stay ahead!
Organizations are striving to improve their data collection operations. They are all careful to operate within ethical boundaries. This is a key factor to reach web transparency which drives open competition forward and is especially beneficial for the consumers. All such issues will be addressed in this important upcoming event. The panelists include:
- Jeni Tennison OBE, chief executive, Open Data Institute
- Steve King, chief executive and co-founder, Black Swan
- Menny Barzilay, chief executive, Cytactic
- Mark Joseph, chairman, Luminati Networks
The evening will be moderated by Duncan Weldon, correspondent for British economics, The Economist.
