Big Data is the buzz word in the precision farming world these days and managing that data is all important.
Laura Donaldson with John Deere‘s Intelligent Solutions Group says they have a set of data principles to guide them in the data management space. “Those data principles are value, transparency and control, and those three words tie directly in to our core values for the company,” said Donaldson. Take value, for example. “We know that customers’ data has value but if they choose to share it, we believe that value can grow,” she explained. “If they share it on the MyJohnDeere platform, they’ll be able to access it much easier and share it with their trusted advisors and partners to tie that value back in.” [wpaudio url=”http://www.zimmcomm.biz/infoag/infoag-14-deere-donaldson.mp3″ text=”Interview with Laura Donaldson, John Deere”]

Hogrefe says keys for the operations center is being secure, open, accessible, and insightful, and a user can adapt the system for their needs from the simplest to the most advanced.
