In Spite of Survey Numbers Suggesting Hype, Gartner Claims Big Data For Real
November 10, 2013
The article Gartner Inc. Insists Big Data Is Not Hype, Survey Says Otherwise on Tools Journal explains some of the findings in the recent released survey from the well-established research agency, Gartner. Are azure chip consultants ever wrong? The findings about Big Data are somewhat contradictory, with question marks forming after the number 8, signifying the percentage of survey respondents from organizations that had actually deployed some form of technology connected with Big Data. However, the number for investors (and those planning to invest) is up from last year, and now at 64 percent.
The article explains,
“Many analysts feel that 2013 for Big Data was turning out to be the year of experimentation and early deployment. The Gartner study showed 70 per cent of those surveyed had moved past the early knowledge gathering and strategy formation phases and into piloting (44 per cent) and deployment (25 per cent)… Lisa Kart, Research Director at Gartner says in a written statement, “The hype around big data continues to drive increased investment and attention, but there is real substance behind the hype.”
Hedging their bets on Big Data, Gartner’s numbers surrounding the technology suggest that the challenges associated with it are also changed from last year. Then the winner was governance issues, but for 2013 it looks like companies are having trouble with knowing how to get value from Big Data and also in firming up their strategies while developing competent skills.
