Big data. More tech buzz or a tool to push your company forward? Well, on one hand, the combination of social networking as a way of life and the ever-growing number of devices on which people interact people stay connected has led to the generation of an untapped source of data. This data presents significant potential to help businesses compete more effectively and drive forward. On the other hand, unprecedented volume, velocity, and variety of the data means companies who are not equipped to properly analyze and mine it for potential business value face significant challenges. As companies begin to deeply explore what big data can do for them, it’s important that the chosen solution is able to address both business intelligence and big data. We think of this approach as business analytics.

From Microsoft IT

Microsoft IT perspectives – BI and Big Data
