Ten Questions and Answers to Leverage Data
To become a data-driven organization some requirements must be met: business transformation, technical improvements, and the deployment of new technologies. This new Big Data report provides ten questions and answers to help organizations leverage data to increase growth, profitability, and shareholder value. The questions are listed below:
- Why Big Data Intelligence?
- What new insights can I expect?
- How will these insights help me?
- What skills do I need?
- How do Big Data pioneers organize data management and IT processes?
- How can I merge structured and unstructured data?
- Which new technologies should I be watching?
- What is looming on the horizon?
- What does this mean in organizational terms?
- How does this affect everyday life?
VINT provides the answers to these questions and also makes some recommendations.
"Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to Big Data. Our ten questions and answers plus the checklist provide insight into the basic requirements to tap Big Data potential. Even relatively data-poor organizations manage to use their Big Data potential. One example is a company that integrated a portable computer in their sportswear and shoes," said Menno van Doorn, director of VINT.
Big Data Program
The fourth and last VINT report is part of a four-part research program on Big Data and was co-authored by Jaap Bloem, Menno van Doorn, Sander Duivestein, Thomas van Manen, Erik van Ommeren, and Sandeep Sachdeva. The Big Data report, "Your Big Data Potential: The art of the possible" can be downloaded for free online: http://bit.ly/15bWxNY
