Smart organizations employ huge amounts of data to understand their customers better, manage inventories, optimize logistics and operational procedures, and make solid business decisions.
Fremont, CA: Successful businesses also understand the need to manage the huge amounts of big data they generate and find reliable ways to derive insights. Therefore, it's critical to have a big data strategy to store, organize, process, and use it properly and efficiently.
What is Big Data, Exactly?
It's not simply the bulk of the data that matters in big data. One of the four Vs. of big data is volume, and regulating it is one of the easier challenges to solve. The additional V's of big data is the diversity of data types, the rate at which data changes, the validity of data from various systems, and other characteristics that make dealing with enormous amounts of constantly changing data problematic.
Big data can come in various shapes and sizes, including unstructured, semistructured, and structured data. It also comes from multiple places, such as streaming data systems, sensors, system logs, GPS systems, text, picture, audio, and media files, among others.
What is the Value of a Big Data Strategy for a Business?
Organizational data is usually stored in silos, whether in data warehouses or disparate departmental networks that lack integration, making it nearly impossible for firms to have a complete picture of their data. Furthermore, the quality of data in enormous data sets and the trustworthiness of data sources might vary, and storage and related data management costs may be prohibitively high.
What Should Be Included in a Big Data Strategy?
A solid big data strategy outlines how data will be used to support and improve business processes and the procedures that will be used to manage the big data environment. The tactics it incorporates must be able to be implemented, widely accepted, and founded on an enterprise-wide awareness that data is a valuable asset that may help a firm achieve long-term success. A strategy should also include a plan for resolving the issues above.
