Big data is surrounding us and growing as we speak. A prognosis made by International Data Corporation (IDC) expects that data volume will grow so exponentially that we will gather a total of 44 zettabytes worth of data by 2020. A whopping 44 zettabytes! That is a figure with 21 zeros in total!
Alas, big data alone doesn’t have value. There is so much data being created, and at such a speed, that it is becoming nothing but a gigantic pile of mess – unless we make sense of it.
Within this pile of mess is important information you can derive from. Your customers have seen your brand, clicked on it, explored your site, visited a comparison site, received a voucher, and made a purchase, wrote a review – and it continues in a cycle! Every action at every touch point leads to data creation. These are information you need to make sense of, in order to understand their buying behaviour. This includes their habits, preferences, technical requirements, as well as the main sources that are leading your customers to you. Knowing such patterns and analysis empowers you to make better budget allocation and optimise business decisions.
It’s true: To extract any form of meaning or value, you need to sift through large amounts of raw data, pick out those that are important, put them together and make them easily understandable and aesthetically pretty, so that everybody in your team (not just scientists) is able to analyse and work with the data. But this is where big data technology comes in.
The fundament of big data analytics extracts important information from your big data and placing them into a database in an orderly fashion, this process also known as data mining. The differences between this and traditional analytics are:
With the help of the right technology provider, marketers are able to run big data analytics on their own and this is an important step for the business. After all, only those, who understand data, can create value from it.
