The Data Economy Manifesto

Simultaneously, an entirely new market of technologies and services called Big Data has taken shape over the last five years to help organizations capture and and extract real value from all that data. As Wikibon has documented, the Big Data market is growing at a considerable pace itself, with vendor revenue from Big Data technology products and services reaching $11.6 billion in 2012. By 2017, Big Data vendor revenue will hit close to $50 billion, according to our models.
