Your Big Data profile: what does that look like?
Big Data is concerned with exceptionally large, often widespread bundles of
semi structured or unstructured data. In addition, they are often incomplete
and not readily accessible.
“Exceptionally large” means the following, measured against the
extreme boundaries of current standard it and relational databases:
petabytes of data or more, millions of people or more, billions of records or
more, and a complex combination of all these.
With fewer data and greater complexity, you will encounter a serious Big
Data challenge, certainly if your tools, knowledge and expertise are not fully
up to date. Moreover, if this is the case, you are not prepared for future data
developments. Semi-structured or unstructured means that the connections
between data elements are not clear, and probabilities will have to be
determined.

Most important Tip (s)

26. 26Big Data a Start | Tips | Amersfoort | 2013 05 28 |
Tips
• Never, Ever, start without a Business Case and thus a
business sponsor.
• Added value of Big Data is combination of “External”
Sources. Think outside the box, outside your silo.
• Maturity is key.
- Start with identifying
- then go optimizing, scale to BI, BI++ and
- then to real time added value Big Data
feedback loops

27. 27Big Data a Start | Tips | Amersfoort | 2013 05 28 |
Maturity (Big Data is young and quick)
The notion that opportunities to capitalize on Big Data are simply
lying there, ready to be seized, is echoing everywhere. In 2011, the
McKinsey Global Institute called Big Data “the next frontier for
innovation, competition, and productivity” and the Economist
Intelligence Unit spoke unequivocally of “a game-changing asset.”
These are quotes taken from titles of two directive reports on Big
Data, a topical theme that is developing vigorously, and about
which the last word has certainly not been uttered.
McKinsey states it very explicitly:
This research by no means represents the final word on big data;
instead, we see it as a beginning. We fully anticipate that this is a
story that will continue to evolve as technologies and techniques
using big data develop and data, their uses, and their economic
benefits grow (alongside associated challenges and risks).
•“Innovation”
•“Competition”
•“Productivity”
