16. Closing thoughts
Basic BI disciplines drive successful Big Data adoption
• What are the business objectives
• Who are the audience / consumers
• What data is available and what are its limits
‘Big Data’ needs to be treated as part of the overall data ecosystem
• Purist definitions of ‘Big Data’ no longer relevant
• One architecture for BI, no silos
Big Data as a Service is a viable alternative to building in-house
• Faster time to value
• More certainty on costs
• Removes skills / resource barrier
