Big Data The era of Big Data has begun and Charlotte wants in. Going forward, collecting and analyzing billions of bits of data will be a big business. Proponents of Charlotte capturing a major share of that industry say it will not only make existing businesses here more competitive but also attract new ones, be a major driver for high-end job growth and lead to greater diversification of the region's economy. We'll explore the world of big data and Charlotte's desire to be part of it.
