Be on Top of the Big Data Boom with PolySpot Technologies
December 26, 2012
It may not be as grand or new at the Dot-com boom, but the big data boom is storming ever so loudly ahead and causing many companies to give pause. There are many opportunities to get in on big data, but organizations and businesses are still figuring out where they can fit in. Will they be an information provider, information broker, or something for big data to flow through? Forbes discusses these ideas in “The Biggest Big-Data Opportunities: How to Choose the Right One.”
The author mostly focuses on summarizing and critiquing Constellation Research CEO Ray Wang, who he deems one of the top 5 industry analysts.
However, he also does a solid job explaining the current state of big data in the industry:
And clearly that’s a discovery process many businesses are undergoing today as Big Data is evolving rapidly from some amorphous techy concept to a business-opportunity theme focused on new revenue streams, more-relevant insights, better-informed customer engagements, and the ability to transform a traditional company into a disruptive and growth-oriented leader.
Yes, what was once an amorphous concept is now a money-making machine for many businesses. The key that was not covered in this particular article was the necessity for a technological infrastructure component that enables efficient information access and delivery across the enterprise. A solution that fits this bill looks like one such technology from PolySpot that provides decision-makers with the insights and opportunities they need in today’s big data boom.
