Why should I care about Big Data in my business?
Data come from multiple sources and in multiple forms. It can come from both within and outside an organization. It can be both structured and unstructured, in a whole palette of flavours. It comes in fast and furious and fill up databases with no time at all.
Not knowing data is like a bird with its wings clipped. Your organization is mobile but it cannot fly.
The use of Big Data and Big Data Analytics could enable your organization create valuable business information and insights that would lift you up far beyond the competition!
