We have all heard the saying that “knowledge is power.” With the collection, categorization, and analysis of big data, companies can know more about their clients as a whole than the sum of their individual activities. The simple example of selling subscriber mailing lists has been dealt with, but what about mining transactions to create a custom profile of client trends, and then selling this aggregate information? A company cannot pass on your personal information to another company, but can it pass on the metadata of all of its clients? For example, can a company that supplies web hosting for ecommerce sites mine the transactions of those websites and sell the aggregate traffic information to competing companies?

Choi, chief financial officer for Petrie Electronics, came early to the quarterly IS Steering Committee meeting. Choi, who was the chair of the committee, took his seat at the head of the big table in the corporate conference room. He opened the cover on his tablet PC and looked at the agenda for the day’s meeting. There were only a few proposed systems projects to consider today. He was familiar with the details of most of them. He briefly looked over the paperwork for each request. He didn’t really think there was anything too controversial to be considered today. Most of the requests were pretty routine and involved upgrades to existing systems. The one totally new system being proposed for development was a customer loyalty system, referred to internally as “No Customer Escapes.” Choi chuckled at the name as he read through the proposal documents. “This is something we have needed for some time,” he thought.
