The central piece of this definition is \u201cbusiness value<\/strong><\/em>\u201d which translates to either top line or bottom line impact that can be achieved through the use of data. The concept of data driven decision making has been around for years which made many businesses comprehend the importance of data.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA report by Harvard Business Review states that more data passes through the internet every second than was being stored on the web as a whole 20 years ago. Data generated in today\u2019s world comes from disparate sources. It is\u00a0high volume, high velocity, and high variety.<\/strong>Interestingly, almost 80% of the data that gets generated is in the form of unstructured text, image and voice data. To build sustainable competitive advantage and gain better customer understanding, every company must collect, store and leverage all available structured and unstructured data.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cBig Data\u201d has become the basic background of enterprise business model innovation. In the last decade, a number of extremely smart and talented entrepreneurs have created new business models using the power of web, mobile, sensor and other similar technologies \u2013 well known examples being Uber, Airbnb, Amazon, GE, eBay etc. Most of these business models are asset-lite models that use the power of information for creating differentiation.\u00a0Big Data, Data Science, and Analytics<\/strong>\u00a0has definitely been one of the key pillars for these business models. Having seen the disruptive power of these business models, traditional companies have started focusing on leveraging the power of each of the pillars of these business models.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA report by McKinsey & Company highlight<\/a>s how companies that have adopted data-driven strategies enjoy 5% higher productivity and 6% higher profits than their competitors. The insights acquired from analyzing bulk of data produced by the organisation can prove to be a game changer, particularly when applied to the strategic planning process. Multiple businesses performing varied functions can derive long term value from the use of data driven strategies. In around 1990s, this practice was pervasive in the financial services, telecom and retail sector. But the recent decade has seen many more sectors incorporate data analytics into their functioning and indeed benefiting from the approach.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHowever, before embarking on a big data journey, all businesses must also be aware of the plausible risks and investment in infrastructure and data collection. The single biggest risk that an organization may encounter is that of the lack of clarity of the business problem that is being addressed. Committing to the technology and human capital investment prior to identification of the business problems and the expected benefit is hence a major risk for any Big Data initiative.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe next biggest risk involves data quality and availability. Poor and inconsistent data may prove to be the biggest bane for the initiative. Implementation failure is another problem to look out for while undertaking a Big-Data initiative. A particular Big Data solution may not get implemented due to multiple hurdles including cultural barriers, non-acceptance from business owners and end users, technology challenges, regulatory challenges etc.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
