Mitigating Risks Associated with Big Data Solutions

今天无处不在的通信和计算技术产生的数据量远远超过十年前。大数据技术和服务市场预计将以27%的复合年增长率增长，从2012年的98亿美元增长到2017年的324亿美元，导致产生的技术数据量成倍增长。现代组织有前所未有的机会获得有关其产品，流程和服务的新知识，这些知识可用于提高项目效率，改进产品和服务，发现问题，采取先发制人的措施，并使业务目标适应新的机会。新知识的应用包括预测模型，例如，减少医院再入院率，交通拥堵和不必要的发电。

Today’s ubiquitous communication and computing technologies generate magnitudes of data far beyond that available even a decade ago. The Big Data technology and services market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 27% from $9.8 billion in 2012 to $32.4 billion in 2017, leading to multi-fold increase in the amount of technical data generated. Modern organisations have unprecedented opportunities to gain new knowledge about their products, processes and services, which can be used to make projects more efficient, improve products and services, identify problems, take pre-emptive measures, and adapt business goals to new opportunities. Applications of new knowledge include predictive models which reduce, for example, hospital readmission rates, traffic congestion, and unnecessary power generation.
