The Fast Path to Big Data

HIGHLIGHTS Leveraging Big Data Template Architectures to Drive Business Outcomes Big Data is more than just a buzzword. It is a proven model for leveraging existing information sources to make smarter, more immediate decisions that result in better business outcomes. Big Data is already being used today by companies across vertical market segments to improve top- and bottom-line performance.2 © 2012 WIPRO LTD | WWW.WIPRO.COM

Big Data Drivers & Hurdles A Confusing Insufficient In-House Uncertainty About Technology Expertise ROI Landscape Lack of in-house In the rush to cash in on Many IT organizations experience and expertise Big Data fever, developers find it difficult to prioritize in Big Data technologies and vendors have use cases, project the and their implementation introduced a confusing economic benefits for can greatly delay time-to- array of tools and those use cases, and benefit and add technologies that are often right size their unacceptable risk to the longer on hype than they investments accordingly IT project portfolio are on clarity3 © 2012 WIPRO LTD | WWW.WIPRO.COM

A Faster, Surer Path to Big Data Results IT can enhance the speed, certainty and ROI of Big Data initiatives by availing itself of three types of partner resources: 1 A Proven, Configurable Multitier Technology Stack 2 A Flexible, Modular Partner Engagement Model 3 Vertical Market Expertise across the Use-case Life Cycle4 © 2012 WIPRO LTD | WWW.WIPRO.COM

Configurable Multitier Technology Stack Big Data implementations essentially require four tiers of technology:  The idea is to standardize the first three of these technology 1. Compute tiers into a platform set that can be leveraged to deliver on Infrastructure any given use case.  This brings predictability to cost and performance outcomes, 2. Data while also providing economies of scale that make each use Management case successively less expensive  Big Data use cases, however, can vary significantly in their 3. Analytics functional attributes.  So, rather than utilizing a single, monolithic stack for every use case, it makes much more sense to define a set of 4. Applications templates and/or configuration parameters for each tier in the stack to accurately and efficiently fulfill varying Big Data requirements This kind of highly configurable technology stack enables companies to avoid the serious problems associated with either treating every use case as a “one-off” project or force-fitting every use case into a “one size fits all” platform.5 © 2012 WIPRO LTD | WWW.WIPRO.COM

Customer Engagement Models A flexible engagement model allows companies to leverage partner, off- the-shelf and vendor capabilities as appropriate, while utilizing their own in-house resources wherever it makes sense to do so.7 © 2012 WIPRO LTD | WWW.WIPRO.COM

Critical Outcomes for a Big Data World 1. Rapid, Reliable Discovery of New, High-Impact Business Insights • Big Data has been clearly proven to help companies improve marketing, deliver an enhanced customer experience, drive operational efficiencies and achieve other outcomes that directly affect top- and bottom-line business performance 2. Reduced Technology Implementation & Ownership Costs • The right partner can help companies accomplish this investment reduction on several fronts: by sparing them the ramp-up costs; by rightsizing and/or hosting compute infrastructure; and by ensuring that the end-to-end solution stack is properly architected 3. Repeatable Success • Engagement with the right partner brings consistency and repeatability to successive Big Data deliverables — enabling companies to gain economies of scale, continuously accelerate time-to-benefit and propagate shared Big Data services across the organization8 © 2012 WIPRO LTD | WWW.WIPRO.COM

Concluding Thoughts  The effective use of Big Data can mean the difference between market leadership and ‘also-ran’ status for many companies  Big Data will continue to play a more strategic role in enterprise IT. Companies that recognize this reality — and that act on it in a technologically, operationally and economically optimized way — will gain sustainable competitive advantages over those that don’t  Any company pursuing those advantages will substantially benefit by engaging the right Big Data partner9 © 2012 WIPRO LTD | WWW.WIPRO.COM
