Big Data Analytics
- Issues to consider:
- Five Components of Information Systems: with your research, please show you have considered the connected resource categories always needed to be used effectively by business managers. Resources require competencies to use them effectively and always require investment of time, money and effort to meet the business KPIs over time. Resources here are:
- Hardware selection and implementation. Hardware resources refer to all types of machines, not just computer hardware.
- Software selection and implementation. Software resources refer not only to computer programs and the media on which they are stored, but also describe the procedures used by people.
- Data and information created, managed, secured and analysed by the business. Data resources describe all of the data that an organisation has access to, regardless of its form.
- Networks & telecommunications selected and implemented. Resources are also required to enable different systems to transfer data.
- HR resources required to support delivery of the business and information systems strategies. People can be managers making decisions based on data and information, customers, suppliers, specialist technical support whether employed or outsourced.
- Five Vs of Big Data: this model suggests five dimensions in which you can consider and evaluate the opportunities and risks of big data, in any of the three required tasks:
- Volume: huge amounts of data generated every second by IT systems
- Variety: many data types are generated (e.g. text, sound, video, numeric etc.)
- Velocity: speed of global transmission
- Veracity: how reliable, accurate, certain or truthful is the data?
- Value: the commercial, social, economic, environmental, ethical, medical, scientific, cultural etc. benefits of the data produced, stored, processed and analysed
