Listen "Hugh Seaton "We have all this data, now what?""
Episode Synopsis
This week on DisJointed, I am joined by Hugh Seaton, General Manager of Crosswalk by CSI, author of The Construction Technology Handbook, and the host of the “Constructed Futures” podcast and “Data in Construction.” In his podcasts, Hugh talks to people in the construction industry, ranging from software companies to people on the data side, the architecture side, and so on.
Seaton dives into what he does at CSI and conversations with people on how to figure out what to do with all data information in the growing world of technology. They’ll explore the analogy that data is the new oil in our world. You can’t do anything with oil in the ground, it needs to be refined to do something with it, shedding light on the idea that data by itself is useless without turning it into something and figuring out what it means. With the fundamental processes underneath data, they’ll explore what seems to be simple questions with a broader scope: What is data, what is it good for, and why should I care?
