Enterprises Struggling to Derive Maximum Value from Big Data

Enterprises interested in leveraging Big Data to drive impactful business outcomes must be prepared to deal with the double threat of too few skilled Big Data practitioners and raw, immature technology. In order to overcome these obstacles and derive significant value from Big Data, enterprises should consider engaging professional services organizations and/or cloud services. The cost of engaging Big Data services will most often be more than offset by the increase in value achieved by successful Big Data projects. Professional services organizations are also useful at identifying initial Big Data use cases to that result in value in-and-of-themselves but also serve as proof-points for driving future projects.
