Episode 11: Small Data
We’re excited to bring you our first buzzITtalk brief, a shorter version of the podcast intended to tackle emerging buzzwords quickly giving you the 4-1-1 on the buzzword in question, in about 10 minutes or less.

Our guest, Nick Chubb from Intelligent Cargo Systems/Thetius takes us through what small data is, how it’s about humans and not just technology and gives us a practical example from the shipping industry.
