NAFA’s Old Dominion Chapter dove into the subject of "big data" during its meeting on November 29. As the information management aspects of fleet and mobility gain dominance, and vehicles with telematics and data-collecting standard equipment are providing more and more numbers, fleet managers are asking, "Now what?" This session described what accurate data fleet managers and their analysts should be capturing. Having this information can be critical to questions the fleet manager will have to ask later.
