Other developments include:
- The Latin America market represents approximately 5.1 percent of the global BDA market.
- In 2016, the Brazilian market represented 46.8 percent of the BDA market in Latin America. It is the most mature and generates revenues of $1.16 billion.
- Financial services, retail and telecommunications are key verticals making significant investments in BDA.
- Improving customers' experience is the main reason for investing in BDA solutions.
"Hadoop is becoming the standard for the majority of Big Data projects. This is due to its disruptive characteristics such as open source, free, scalable, low cost and fault tolerance. Once cloud and Hadoop are compatible it would make sense to run them together as they both focus on reliability and scalability at a reasonable price point, which is essential for BDA solutions," noted Pasquini.
