Although we often associate Big Data with worries such as security and privacy in our daily lives, it's also important to highlight the enormous potential that data offers when it comes to the quality of peoples' lives. This is what we call "Big Data for Social Good"
When we start to look into it, the data speaks for itself! Currently, there are six billion mobile phones in the world and 80% of them are found in developing countries. This offers us an interconnected sms gateway norway network with an incredible potential to generate valuable information. Thanks to anonymized and aggregated data, this allows us to:
optimize resources
reduce CO2 emissions
create poverty indicators that help us to understand the economic challenges in developing countries
efficiently manage natural disasters
take on the biggest challenges that humanity faces
As such, the possibilities are endless! In this new digital era, decision-making based on data is a fundamental pillar of successful organizations. Using macrodata for social goals (Big Data for Social Good) allows us to do our bit to help improve our environment, but also to build a society that is more fair and sustainable. In this way, at Telefonica we are committed to giving back the value of data for society's gain. To do this, we have chosen to use our own data, alongside external data from private and public companies, to drive progress and guarantee a better future.
Telefonica is fully committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by carrying out a number of projects and initiatives that positively impact our society.
