Closing the data divide: the need for open data

Microsoft launched an Open Data Campaign to help address the looming "data divide" and help organizations of all sizes to realize the benefits of data and the new technologies it powers. Microsoft believes everyone can benefit from opening, sharing and collaborating around data to make better decisions, improve efficiency and even help tackle some of the world's most pressing societal challenges. The campaign aims to advance a much-needed discussion about how the world uses and shares data.
