Human civilization has known about the existence of oil since 600 B.C. Throughout the ancient age it had <\/span>very limited uses<\/b>, more as a perennial fire, in the context of warfare, since water could not extinguish burning oil. It would have to wait until 1859 for the first major use, commercially speaking, for oil: the first profitable well. Demand at the time came from lighting, as it ran on whale oil, which had a particular supply chain, making it understandably expensive. Through the <\/span>refining <\/b>of oil, kerosene lowered the <\/span>cost of lighting<\/b>. Today oil has more market because it has other uses and therefore demand: energy (transportation, thanks to Diesel), materials (polymers, thanks to Giulio Natta), etc. So use values have transformed a dark viscous liquid, less dense than water, into <\/span>incomes<\/b>. But those use values have been discovered through chemistry (materials science), physics, geology, industrial chemistry, mechanical engineering (for vehicles), etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The low cost of data storage, combined with the low cost of computation enabled by Personal Computers and telecommunications, allow the <\/span>industrial alchemists<\/span><\/a> in modern sauce <\/span>to refine <\/b>data to get something abstract that lowers the <\/span>decision-making costs, <\/b>even those of <\/span>opportunities.<\/span><\/a> In fact, various products are made from petroleum, not just kerosene. In the same way that with statistical counseling you have not only potential <\/span>cost reductions<\/span><\/a>, but increased turnover, greater <\/span>productivity<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> improved employee satisfaction<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>greater control<\/span><\/a>. Again, to make data become profitable, you need computer science, statistics, data engineering, economic and noneconomic organizations (for decision makers), marketing (to analyze how to spend better) etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you have a small business between 3 and 35 employees and want to make it 21st century-proof, <\/span>possibly without making it dependent on OPEC of the data<\/span><\/i>, we can do <\/span>a free call for about 30 minutes<\/span><\/a> to understand how we can together design the distillation column for your data, to create <\/span>barrels <\/span><\/i>of value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
