Glenn Wong is an Azure Solution Specialist who provides information on Microsoft Azure. Azure offers several benefits including agility, innovation, cost visibility, and scalability. It allows businesses to deploy new applications, software upgrades, and reproduce issues much faster compared to traditional hosting methods. Azure also offers elasticity and pay-as-you-go pricing. For example, a 2 CPU Windows VM costs $HK22 per day. Choosing Azure as a cloud partner provides benefits such as a global infrastructure, operating system support, security, innovation, and process automation.
Big data provides detailed information (the "what") that can help people understand why things happen. There are three characteristics of big data: volume, variety, and velocity. Big data is high-volume, high-variety, and high-velocity information that can provide insights and improve decision making. Examples of how big data can benefit organizations include optimizing delivery routes, predicting natural disasters, and understanding customer preferences. Challenges with big data include integrating diverse data sources, privacy and security issues, and a lack of skills. To take advantage of big data, people and organizations need tools that provide quick insights and enable fast action.

How to kickstart your co-creation platform - 20 examples by @boardofinnoBoard of Innovation
This document summarizes 20 existing co-creation platforms. It describes different types of co-creation such as clubs of experts, crowds of people, coalitions of parties, and communities of kindred spirits. Key principles of successful co-creation are inspiring participation, selecting the best ideas and people, connecting creative minds, sharing results, and continuing development. Platforms are compared based on parameters like number of people involved, frequency of interaction, competition level, project duration, and return for participants. The goal is to learn from existing examples of co-creation between industries, governments, and consumers.
