Final places available for ICFM’s ‘Big Data’ Masterclass

Fleet decision-makers are being called to book the final available places for next week’s ICFM Masterclass focusing on ‘big data’, which is rapidly transforming the long-established fleet management model.

ICFM’s third Masterclass will analyse the changing landscape and how the unprecedented stream of information with the arrival of the ‘connected car’, the Internet of Things and the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) will help managers drive unbelievable efficiencies.

The two-hour ICFM ‘Big Data Masterclass’, which is free to attend, will be held on Tuesday, October 3, 2017, from 10am-noon at the NEC, Birmingham.

Speakers will highlight how technology is reinventing the way both fleets and the whole arena of corporate travel is being strategically managed.

Delegates will hear from ICFM chairman Paul Hollick, managing director of global mileage audit and fuel expense management specialist TMC (The Miles Consultancy), who will highlight how ‘big data’ and information feeds directly from expense systems, employees and vehicles are providing fleet chiefs with critical in-depth information on where, when and how employees are travelling and the insight enabling greater cost control over key cost areas.

Other speakers include Justin Whitston, chief executive of Fleetondemand and ICFM director Martin Evans, managing director of Jaama, who will explain why it is vital that ‘big data’ from vehicles and suppliers is fed directly into sophisticated software management systems enabling detailed analysis of cost areas and the more effective and efficient management of assets, drivers and journeys.

Paul Hollick said: “It is vital that ICFM highlights how the fleet and business travel sectors are converging within the mobility arena.

“Technology and the arrival of ‘big data’ is behind that transformation, which is being driven by motor manufacturers, contract hire and leasing companies and business travel providers.

“It is critical that fleet leaders, who are increasingly becoming mobility providers, embrace the new world of ‘big data’.”
