EDITOR ’ S COMMENT
Greetings all ! After an exciting month of June filled with several compelling stories and transactions in the business world , we now move on and turn our attention to July .
In a nation aspiring to climb the ranks toward becoming one of the world ’ s technological leaders , we ’ ll take an in-depth look at an emerging topic of big data , as well as new innovators .
Perhaps the best way to store big data in today ’ s world is through using data lakes , and an interview with Teradata ANZ general manager Alec Gardner explores what makes a data lake so popular and so important in our society .
In addition , we ’ ll examine the new innovation behind smart buildings . This feature breaks down the steps taken to ensure these buildings of the future are connected in an integrated , dynamic and functional way , all while minimising energy cost , supporting an electric grid and reducing the environmental impact .
And finally , our Top 10 list features the best institutions in Australia to earn an MBA , based on this year ’ s QS regional MBA rankings . Although there are several great candidates to chose from , can you guess which school wound up taking the top spot ?
Enjoy the issue !
