Follow the Money: Big Data ROI and Inline Analytics

Wikibon conducted in-depth interviews with organizations that had achieved Big Data success and high rates of returns. These interviews determined an important generality: that Big Data winners focused on operationalizing and automating their Big Data projects. They used Inline Analytics to drive algorithms that directly connected to and facilitated automatic change in the operational systems-of-record. These algorithms were usually developed and supported by data tables derived using Deep Data Analytics from Big Data Hadoop systems and/or data warehouses. Instead of focusing on enlightening the few with pretty historical graphs, successful players focused on changing the operational systems for everybody and managed the feedback and improvement process from the company as a whole.

4 Reasons Why You Can’t Do Without Data Visualization Any Longer

Terms such as Big Data and Internet of Things, unknown to most just a few years ago, are now commonly used not only by top managers and entrepreneurs, but also by the wider corporate pyramid.

We are often surprised by how things change at a speed which surpasses our ability to learn and to understand. And just as often, corporate dynamics and the context within which we move appear too complicated, too costly, too complex. All too much.

Data Protection Without Limits

Globalization has become the norm. The exploding use of mobile devices and the Internet now requires most businesses’ websites to be constantly available. Additionally, employees need 24×7 access to corporate resources. These types of requirements drive the need for increased levels of availability and recoverability for your business services. Downtime can be extremely costly. A 2014 Gartner study called “The Cost of Downtime” revealed that the average cost of downtime for businesses was $5,600 per minute, which roughly equates to $300,000 per hour. That particular study was an average across all businesses. For many organizations, it can be much more. For instance, according to a Forbes article, a 30-minute outage for Amazon in 2013 cost the company an estimated $3 million in lost revenue.

Implementing this level of availability can be somewhat challenging and requires planning ahead.
