AXIOM, which comes from the Latin root axioma, is defined as information that is thought fitting and worthy. AXIOM magazine is produced in collaboration with independent specialist authors and technical experts, who provide insights on the latest big ideas, trends and relevant design-oriented topics.

"When it comes to predicting customer buying patterns, preferences and trends, big data analysis is as close to a crystal ball as businesses can get these days," said Ed Smith, president, Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas. "In this issue of AXIOM, we provide readers with an in-deth look at big data from practical applications and ROI analysis to its potential to bring science fiction fantasies to life."

Big Data features in the issue include:

• Ten Critical Elements of Big Data by Avnet CIO Steve Phillips

• Kontron (News - Alert) crunches big data and addresses how Telcos look to save with NFV/SDN-based data analytics.
