According to the video description: "Organizations have mountains of data assets. They often scramble how to unlock the value of Big Data they sit on in the most optimal way so that they can get most out of it. This is an exciting time for innovative CIOs to leverage the value of Big Data by harnessing the power of Big Data platforms. CIOs have to articulate clearly the strategies for the success. This requires strategic planning and forethought.

In this panel, leading CIOs will discuss:
- Big Data Trends, Directions, Opportunities and Road Map
- Measurement/Key Metrics for the Big data project success
- Issues, Challenges dealing with Big Data: Volume, Variety and Velocity
- Efficient ways to capture and reconcile different data formats for analysis
- Cost of collecting and analyzing data, and to measure the cost weighed against the anticipated value of the outcome."

Annabelle Bexiga, TIAA-CREF
