Did you know that data production will be 44 times greater in 2020 than it was in 2009?
An that although individuals create over 70 per cent of the digital universe, enterprises have the responsibility of storing and managing 80 per cent of it?
Companies today are in the middle of a data storm. They know the volume of data is exploding, and they know that success depends on managing their data to leverage it to its fullest potential. It’s clearly one way to gain an enormous advantage over competitors in a crowded marketplace.
But there’s a difference between knowing and doing. Many companies are continuing to struggle to get over the big data hump. They want to spring into action and commit to a more aggressive vision for their data, but they don’t know where to begin.
Big data’s importance
The term “big data” is on everyone’s lips now. Some suggest it’s little more than “buzzword” in the modern technology lexicon, but those who have succeeded in harnessing the power of their data to grow would disagree. For them, big data has had immediate and tangible results. The impetus for new businesses to tackle the big data dragon include:
- Companies that analyze big data can get a sharp view of current market conditions, which can represent a competitive advantage.
- Big data analysis helps companies better understand their customers. They can more accurately predict what customers will need or want, and provide them with better products and services.
- Big data tools can help a company understand how it is viewed by specific segments of the public or by the entire public. This makes for better control of a company’s reputation.
Two challenges … two events
Many companies’ IT groups are facing two huge challenges:
- Their traditional enterprise data warehouse was never designed to incorporate all the new types of data, volume, and velocity; and
- They don’t have a clear view of their response performance metrics.
