Big Data and the Cloud Reveal Hidden Value for Your Business

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Big data analytics combined with business intelligence tools can turn the massive amount of unstructured data in your business ‑ including customer, marketing, CRM, and technical data ‑ into new opportunities. Analytics and BI can deliver deep insight about your market, identify internal process inefficiencies, and reveal your customers' unspoken needs, possibly before they even know they have these needs. In addition, the predictive nature of big data analytics can help tailor your products to better suit markets and customers, and create products for newly discovered opportunities.

Of course, to leverage big data, companies must overcome a range of challenges: Who will lead the big data initiative? Who should own the data and analysis? How do you avoid being blinded by the sheer volume of data available and ensure you uncover the truth in what your data is telling you? Do you have the processing power, storage capacity, and bandwidth you need? And how can you expand business learning from big data analytics while your data sets, application platforms, and user expectations continue to grow?

One effective strategy is to combine big data processing and the cloud, harnessing this power to offer new customer value, according to a new UBM Tech report. Advances in cloud infrastructure, analytics tools, and security strategies now make the cloud a preferred destination for big data analytics.

Big data analytics doesn't stop with your own data. In this age of hyperconnectivity, users expect to access their data and critical business knowledge no matter where they are or what platforms – desktop, mobile, and Web ‑ they're using. Companies that provide seamless integration among the desktop, mobile, and Web worlds will be able to compete more effectively.
