Released: Tuesday, June 30, 2015

This is our fourth Insights Research report on big data analytics. Big data has all the components for long-term success but with some serious short-term challenges that must be resolved first, including a huge, sometimes-hazy scope, a high level of complexity, immature technology, and lots and lots of ‘dirty’ data to complicate matters. Despite this, many service providers are making progress in what remains an early-stage market.

In this report we:

  • discuss the potential for big data analytics and propose a layered approach to success;
  • report the results of our survey of 35 service providers;
  • look at predictive analytics, discussing whether service providers should be hiring chief data officers;
  • explain the importance of good governance processes

Author Rob Rich also outlines recommendations for what service provider should do in order to be successful with a big data strategy.

From the analyst
  • Infographic: Big data lifts off
  • Podcast: Big data – Global progress, dirty data and searching for a single version of the truth 
  • Warding off security threats with predictive analytics
  • Why data governance is a critical step forward
From our sponsor
  • Vision for broad big data adoption
