What’s the Big Deal with Big Data?
Like every enterprise, your organization is generating, receiving, sharing, and accumulating
massive amounts of data at an ever-increasing pace. This data takes all forms – structured and
unstructured – and moves in and out of your systems at unprecedented speed. Somewhere
hidden in those data streams may be nuggets of information that, if quickly identified and
analyzed, can help your company become more insightful, competitive, and responsive.
“Big Data investments in 2013 continue to rise, with 64% of organizations investing or
planning to invest in big data technology compared to 58% last year.”1 However, the biggest
challenge for many organizations is determining how to get value from Big Data. Before you
jump on the Big Data bandwagon, you need to know how big an impact it can have on your
business, how big an investment it will require, and how to make it work. NTT DATA’s Big Data
Strategy and Roadmap service provides the answers to those questions.
Are You Ready to Go Big?
Business-relevant data is everywhere: churning through traditional corporate databases,
streaming in from data external data feeds, and riding the waves of social media. Big Data
vendors promise to harness that information and turn it into insights that drive new revenue,
improve decision-making, and enable better, more personalized customer service.
That’s easier said than done. Every enterprise is unique – with its own business model, data
assets, and opportunities. There are challenges to understanding enterprise metadata, sizing
up external, non-structured data, and mapping user needs to technology strategies.
NTT DATA’s Big Data Strategy and Roadmap service brings it all into focus using a phased,
four- to six-week process that helps you discover your Big Data potential and determine the
proper next steps before you go big.
