! The Opportunity of Big Data
! Big Data has presented a big opportunity for businesses as the
variety, velocity and volume of data has decreased in cost and
increased in value.
! With this, the possibilities for finding and validating new insight
for greater efficiency or competitiveness have never been richer.
! However, without the right direction and plan in place, this
opportunity can lead to failure.

! What leads to failure with Big Data planning?
! The breadth of technologies and platforms on the market can be
overwhelming to understand what path is best for you and how to
successfully establish a Big Data plan.
! For example, Hadoop has become popular and visible yet may not be
the best tool for the job, which results in delays and added costs.
! Before implementing a Big Data plan, do your research on the available
data management tools. We suggest checking out the 451 Group’s
series on Big Data that categorize and explain the differences between
a wide variety of offerings and includes some helpful diagrams along the
way.
! Forrester also continues to offer a wide array of keen insight on the Big
Data market and chronicles its expertise into reports and blog entries.

incorporating available software tools, hardware, and skills to
build and manage the solution.
