Data is the origin of insights, and insights are the fuel of business in a highly competitive market. Big data is the natural evolvement of raw data and a result of data sources’ diversity.
What is Big Data Management?
Big data management is the sourcing and arrangement of data, creating and managing databases and backups, and defining permissions to individuals or functions to access specific data.
Big data analytics is the application of certain analytical tools and techniques to derive more organized and meaningful data for a more effective decision-making process. Big data is simply data with different attributes. Its volume is huge, its sources are diversified, and its velocity is rapid. If an entity has up to 100 GB of data from one or two sources, it does not have big data, but it has data that should be analyzed for the good of its business.
Why does a business entity need to be qualified for Big Data Analytics Management?
Data is a business entity asset, which is really important and is not used as it should be.
Now it is the right time to exploit such data and make use of the same. A business entity needs its staff to be qualified and trained in the latest technology and methodologies to analyze, prepare and visualize its data.
Are there any international standards or regulations for Big data Management?
Yes, there is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is a European standard regulating the protection, processing, usage, transfer, and exchange of personal data related to natural persons. If a business takes capture of customer data, or if an entity has a web portal that collects client data, that means the entity needs to comply with GDPR.
