The Big Data Zoo - Taming the Beast

Big data is probably the single most important trend in information usage for both business and IT in the past decade. It is changing the way companies make decisions, do business, succeed or fail. Using information and insights intelligently to anticipate and profit from change. It is causing IT to look beyond traditional technologies, to new tools to process larger data volumes of a variety of types faster than ever before required.  Much of the focus on the big data zoo has missed one key point: big or small, it’s still data. It must be managed and integrated across the entire enterprise to extract its full value, to ensure its consistent use. Taming big data is the key to gaining that value.
