Drone Data – A Digital Explosion

Great, you’ve now got the raw data, processed it, and have it stored somewhere in its final form.   But wait … there are more things to consider!

• Have privacy issues been considered when capturing the images?
• Do the multitude of images require review to find that required bit of information?
• How many files will it take for my data storage to be full?
• Are the digital formats compatible with my business software system?
• How will I transfer these large digital files to my colleagues and clients?
• Are the files secure enough from hackers when stored or transported?
• Can approved users easily access the files when needed?
• Who has the expertise in my business to make sure these IT issues are addressed?

As you can see, data management is an important issue to consider and address BEFORE starting your drone program.

If you don’t consider it, the “digital explosion” may overwhelm your resources and ultimately your business.

So make sure you pre-plan and manage this modern age phenomenon called Big Data. It will greatly improve your chances of proceeding and scaling-up your drone program with minimal hassles.

In our next edition of the “Risks and Rewards” series, we will discuss how drones can really enhance communications within your business … and who wouldn’t like to communicate better?

Until then, onwards and upwards!
