Since research about Big Data in Brazil did not yield many results, we decided to interview a university professor (Dr. Geraldo Xexéo, Prof. for Engineering and Computer Science, UFRJ) and several members of the Rio-branch of SERPRO, the biggest government-owned corporation of IT services in Brazil. SERPRO is linked to the Ministry of Finance of Brazil, developing software and services for increased control and transparency about government revenues and spending.
