Data is the driving force for most modern companies, and automation is the key to unlocking its potential and keeping it secure. But for automation to thrive, we need to understand what data is — a series of ones and zeros that can be anything from a personal photo to an audio recording.
The smart thing about these data assets is that they are incredibly valuable, and everyone can own a piece of them. The problem is that data management took years to build, and, as a result, it has become a complex business to manage.
Companies have been tasked with data management by their top executives, CTOs and CIOs to solve this problem. The result? Millions of dollars in budget spent with limited ROI.
Ultimately, various academic studies have precise and well-documented business benefits of managing data. Data that is used correctly can help organizations achieve competitive advantages. Data managed well can lead to cost reductions, business process improvements, and better customer experience.
Given the growing importance of data in businesses today, it comes as no surprise that technologies like Hadoop and NoSQL have become so popular. However, these technologies are not just about managing data — they are a foundational enabler for data-driven.
IT — helping organizations unlock their true power by delivering new capabilities, innovating faster, and gaining a competitive advantage.
These technologies offer businesses a way to tap into new data stores while deploying applications more quickly and efficiently. Big Data is a strategic asset that needs to be managed like one. The challenge we often run up against is how to effectively deploy these technologies in a way that people understand, utilize, and secure — it’s not as easy as simply asking someone to “build us some Big Data.”
Big Data is about unlocking value through automation — it’s about turning data into insights and insights into actions. Furthermore, Big Data doesn’t stop at Hadoop or NoSQL — it goes beyond the technology and touches every IT organization function (like planning, development, testing, operations, and administration) somehow.
However, this doesn’t mean Big Data technologies require a significant amount of coding to use. IT organizations have the opportunity to automate Big Data, making them more accessible and more efficient to use than ever before.
