This document summarizes an article that is critical of the term "Big Data" and argues that it is primarily a marketing term used by business intelligence vendors. Some key points:
1) The author argues that "Big Data" is just the latest marketing campaign by BI vendors and does not represent a meaningful change, as data has always been large and growing exponentially.
2) While vendors tout new sources of data and increased volumes, the author claims this is just "more of the same" and does not require fundamentally new approaches. Greater data does not necessarily lead to better insights or decisions.
3) Quotes and claims by vendors about the potential value and benefits of "Big Data" are exaggerated and
Carousel30: Big data for digital marketersCarousel30
Carousel30's white paper that explains the most relevant aspects of big data for digital marketers.
It’s hard to read a blog, pick up a magazine, or have a conversation about business these days without the term “Big Data” coming up in some form or another. What it is exactly and how it relates to you as a digital marketer can be harder to determine. The purpose of this white paper is to talk about Big Data in terms that relate to marketing and advertising, and more specifically that relate to the digital marketer. There is much more information (or data, if you will) on this subject than this white paper allows, but the objective is to encourage further research and discovery on the areas of the subject that are most relevant to you and your current challenges within your organization or company.
Many of the references cited within this white paper provide deeper insights into specific aspects and we recommend reading them in their entirety, especially when they refer to areas of interest to you. We hope that this provides a good introduction to Big Data and is the beginning of a new step in the sophistication of your digital marketing and advertising efforts.

This document discusses the potential of big data and how organizations can tap into it. It covers:
- Big data's potential through combining internal and external structured and unstructured data from different sectors like healthcare. This allows for new insights and services.
- Organizations are at different stages of realizing big data's potential. Studies have examined how organizations are developing their capabilities and what factors influence adoption.
- Realizing big data's full potential requires both technological expertise and changes to organizational structures and processes. It also requires integrating new and existing data sources and systems.
- Ten key questions are discussed that organizations should consider to help understand their big data potential and how to develop the necessary strategies, skills and partnerships to
Big data 2 4 - big-social-predicting-behavior-with-big-dataRick Bouter
This document provides an overview of big social data and predicting consumer behavior with large data sets. It contains 11 observations on the current state of big data, including that:
1) Best practices for big data are still emerging as the field changes rapidly.
2) Technological breakthroughs like new data analysis software are enabling new types of analysis.
3) Proponents believe big social data from social media can enable highly targeted predictions of consumer behavior.
4) However, others warn that big data projects risk becoming uncontrolled if not properly focused on real needs and privacy issues.
The document discusses big data, including what it is, its history, current considerations, and importance. It notes that big data refers to large volumes of structured and unstructured data that businesses deal with daily. While the term is relatively new, collecting and storing large amounts of information for analysis has existed for a long time. Big data is now defined by its volume, velocity, and variety. Businesses can gain insights from big data analysis to make better decisions and strategic moves.
Sogeti big data - no more secrets with big data analyticsRick Bouter
This document provides an introduction to the book "No More Secrets with Big Data Analytics". It discusses five main themes related to Big Data: 1) Acceleration of Big Data projects is important for competitive advantage. 2) Big Data transformation requires organizational change and overcoming resistance. 3) Issues of data ownership could challenge Big Data initiatives if individuals demand control over their personal data. 4) Privacy concerns are raised by increased data collection and analysis. 5) The Snowden revelations exposed widespread government surveillance and use of Big Data. The introduction sets up the context for the book which aims to provide insights on successfully applying Big Data analytics.
Big data refers to the large amounts of data collected from various sources like cell phones, credit cards, and the internet. As big data continues to grow exponentially, accountants must learn new skills to analyze and manage all this data. Traditional accounting methods like Excel spreadsheets are no longer sufficient. Accountants will need to form new partnerships and collaborate across departments to extract useful insights from big data. While big data presents many challenges, it also provides opportunities to improve business decisions, target customers more effectively, and even combat fraud through advanced data analysis. The role of accountants is evolving to be more strategic and analytic as businesses rely more heavily on big data.
Chris Gabriel, VP of Solutions Management at Logicalis Group, explores the world of ‘Big Data’, to look at the impact of ‘internet time’ on decision-making and the increasingly central role of business analytics in driving long term competitiveness.

Getting data-fit requires selecting and consuming the right kinds of data, applying it where it matters most by linking it to creative workstreams, and recognizing organizational barriers. Brands need to collect smart, clean, and purposeful data that is properly vetted and linked to objectives. Data should inform what brands communicate and the experiences they design by feeding into expectations and experience management. However, most attempts to leverage data fail due to organizational barriers like legacy systems, data silos, lack of skills, and not celebrating successes. Overcoming these barriers requires investment, building cross-functional relationships, internal training, focusing on easy wins, and learning from others.

Vint big data research privacy technology and the lawKarlos Svoboda
This document discusses privacy issues related to big data. It begins by describing how organizations use big data to target customers for marketing purposes, but often do so without transparency around what customer data is being collected and how it is used. This can undermine customer trust and privacy. The document advocates for transparency, choice, and an approach called "Privacy by Design" to help address privacy concerns while enabling the benefits of big data. It also examines the complex legal and technical challenges around privacy as data practices continue to evolve rapidly. The overall goal is to develop solutions that respect individual privacy and allow both individuals and organizations to benefit from big data.
Since 2005, when the term “Big Data” was launched, Big Data has become an increasingly topical theme. In terms of technological development and business adoption, the domain of Big Data has made powerful advances; and that is putting it mildly.
In this initial report on Big Data, the first of four, we give answers to questions concerning what exactly Big Data is, where it differs from existing data classification, how the transformative potential of Big Data can be estimated, and what the current situation (2012) is with regard to adoption and planning.
VINT attempts to create clarity in these developments by presenting experiences and visions in perspective: objectively and laced with examples. But not all answers, not by a long way, are readily available. Indeed, more questions will arise – about the roadmap, for example, that you wish to use for Big Data. Or about governance. Or about the way you may have to revamp your organization. About the privacy issues that Big Data raises, such as those involving social analytics. And about the structures that new algorithms and systems will probably bring us.

Converting Big Data To Smart Data | The Step-By-Step Guide!Kavika Roy
1. The document discusses how to convert big data into smart data through machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques. It involves filtering big data through criteria like timeframes and media channels to create more focused data streams.
2. Analytics are then used to derive insights from the filtered data by identifying themes, influential actors, emotions, and other patterns. This process of filtering and analyzing turns large amounts of raw data into actionable business intelligence.
3. The final stage is integrating smart data with other internal and external data sources through APIs and data sharing to develop a comprehensive view of customers and business operations. This full conversion process extracts strategic lessons from big data to guide decision-making.

We present them to you with the hope of sparking broader conversations, debates and ideas. Please use this as a resource for knowledge, inspiration and enjoyment.
This document discusses the rise of big data and its impact on the translation industry. It notes that the amount of digital data is growing rapidly and will be four times the amount of grains of sand on Earth by 2020. With more of the world's population online, most online consumers cannot access content in their own language, so translation into other languages is necessary to tap into the global online spending potential of $50 trillion. Big data offers companies a competitive advantage by enabling more customized products and services through deeper analysis of customer behavior and preferences. However, human translators can only manage 2500-3000 words per day, so cloud-based translation platforms are emerging to help companies scale translation and leverage insights from big data analysis.
Big data 1 4 vint-sogeti-on-big-data-1-of-4-creating clarity with big dataRick Bouter
This document discusses the rise of Big Data and its importance for organizations. It notes that digital data is fueling a new industrial revolution. Big Data represents the combination of transactions, interactions, and observations. The growth of digital data from various sources is expanding exponentially. To gain competitive advantages, organizations must implement total data management and analyze all available data, not just samples. This will allow them to better understand customer behavior, detect fraud, and make improved business decisions. The document outlines several Big Data challenges that organizations face and questions for the reader regarding their Big Data profile and management.
World Wide Web has completely changed the dynamics and conventional meaning of operating and managing a business. It has opened new avenues through seamless interaction between consumers and business houses. In the process it has flooded
The World Wide Web with unimaginable volumes of data, for instance according to an estimate the average volume of data created in a single day is easily around 2.5 quintillion bytes.
1) Big data is becoming economically relevant as the volume of data generated and stored grows exponentially. It will transform our lives and become the basis of competition as companies use it to enhance productivity.
2) Leading companies are leveraging big data through advanced analytics to innovate, compete, and capture value across industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. This will create new opportunities and categories of data-focused companies.
3) Consumers stand to significantly benefit from big data applications like smart routing which could save drivers over $500 billion annually through time and fuel savings by 2020.
The document discusses how big data can provide opportunities for marketers to gain a competitive advantage through analyzing large amounts of customer data from diverse sources. It outlines how big data can help retain customers, identify new customers, reveal new opportunities, and drive more profitable advertising. However, it also notes challenges in developing infrastructure to manage big data, tying disparate data sources together, and ensuring privacy. It provides recommendations for marketers to utilize big data, such as appointing a chief data scientist and taking small initial steps.
Big Data refers to the large amounts of diverse data organizations now have available to them. It is defined by its volume, velocity, and variety. Volume refers to the huge amounts of data, starting at tens of terabytes. Velocity refers to the speed at which data is generated and changes. Variety means data can come from many different sources in various formats. While these 3Vs define Big Data, organizations should focus on extracting value from Big Data through improved insights and treating data as an asset. Big Data offers new opportunities to analyze real-time data and gain a deeper understanding through semantic analysis.
Small data vs. Big data : back to the basicsAhmed Banafa
Small data is data in a volume and format that makes it accessible, informative and actionable.
The Small Data Group offers the following explanation:
Small data connects people with timely, meaningful insights (derived from big data and/or “local” sources), organized and packaged – often visually – to be accessible, understandable, and actionable for everyday tasks.
Analytical Thinking is a fortnightly newsletter from the UK Business Analytics team.
The purpose of the newsletter is to raise awareness about why analytics is a hot topic at the moment, where is analytics being referenced in the press and in what ways are organisations using analytics.
Business Analytics (Operational Research) is part of the Digital Transformation team in Capgemini Consulting UK
The document discusses the increasing importance of business analytics for organizations. It notes that while organizations collect vast amounts of data, most of it goes unused. Business analytics tools allow organizations to better analyze their data to gain insights, predict future trends, optimize decisions, and stay competitive by acting faster than others based on data insights. The document advocates that all organizations should find ways to better leverage the data they already have through business analytics in order to anticipate customer needs and maximize business success.
Hadoop is an open-source software framework used for storing and processing large datasets in a distributed manner across commodity hardware. It was created in 2005 by Doug Cutting and Mike Cafarella to address the issue of processing big data at a reasonable cost and time. Hadoop uses HDFS for storage and MapReduce for processing data distributed over a network of nodes in parallel. It allows organizations to gain insights from vast amounts of structured and unstructured data faster and at lower costs than traditional approaches.

Sogeti on big data creating clarity - Report 1-4 on Big Data - Sogeti ViNTRick Bouter
Since 2005, when the term “Big Data” was launched, Big Data has become an increasingly topical theme. In terms of technological development and business adoption, the domain of Big Data has made powerful advances; and that is putting it mildly.
In this initial report on Big Data, the first of four, we give answers to questions concerning what exactly Big Data is, where it differs from existing data classification, how the transformative potential of Big Data can be estimated, and what the current situation (2012) is with regard to adoption and planning.
VINT attempts to create clarity in these developments by presenting experiences and visions in perspective: objectively and laced with examples. But not all answers, not by a long way, are readily available. Indeed, more questions will arise – about the roadmap, for example, that you wish to use for Big Data. Or about governance. Or about the way you may have to revamp your organization. About the privacy issues that Big Data raises, such as those involving social analytics. And about the structures that new algorithms and systems will probably bring us.
