  19. Data Integration

  20. “Our problem is not a lack of data; rather the problem is we have too much data.  How do we make sense of the data?  We need data-savvy people like you who can turn data to useful information – tables, graphs, etc.  Put that in the hands of people who can influence it and it turns into knowledge of what is significant and what is not significant.  Ultimately it turns into wisdom and good decisions that help us mitigate risk on our pipelines.” Data à Information à Knowledge à Wisdom à Good decisions to mitigate risk à A safer pipeline Larry Hjalmarson, Williams Gas Pipelines VP Safety, Environmental, and Integrity
