One year ago, Microsoft launched an Open Data Campaign to help close the data divide between those countries and companies that have the data they need to innovate and those that do not. We learned quickly that this continued divide risks leaving some people behind, without the ability to put data to work and without the ability to generate economic wealth and opportunity more broadly. To address the challenges of tomorrow, we need to make it easier to open, share and collaborate around data today. That's why we're sharing 10 key lessons from the first year of our campaign to help other organizations of all sizes unlock the power of data.
