Talk Synopsis

The Big Data Analytics industry generated close to £20B of turnover in 2014, excellent news for the Data providers, but not so good for the clients. Tangible evidence of value delivered from the Analytics is sparse indeed. Which leaves companies with a significant contradiction:  future success will increasingly be determined by Big Data, but the large majority of Big Data providers are not capable of delivering meaningful, actionable insight. The presentation will focus on this contradiction and its resolution. This will include an introduction to a newly released Big Data Analytics capability spectrum. The result of a six year academia-led programme of research into the inner workings of the Big Data Analytics industry, the spectrum is intended to provide prospective Big Data users with an objective means of comparing the variety of Data providers and matching their capabilities to the prevailing and emerging needs of the enterprise.
