Re: IDC Big Data Trends
@DHagar This is all a part of what bigger companies are talking about when they identify digitalization trends. 

Often there is so much data being generated that these firms have to be able to accomodate big data. They don't have a choice.

Re: IDC Big Data Trends
Yes, BUT what the New York Times noted in this "notation" yesterday may end upupendingit all in light of the "light touch" that seems to be the order of the day out of Washington:: '....
Donald Trump has the freewheeling, broadly democratic internet to thank for his still-shocking climb to the presidency. Now that he's in office, though, his administration is taking steps to fundamentally alter, if not destroy, the internet as we know it — so argues Susan Crawford, a Harvard law professor and one of the country's top experts in telecommunications regulation, in an Op-Ed today.
I've followed Crawford's work for years — among other things, she's the author of "Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age." So when President Trump installed Ajit Pai, a fiercely antiregulatory member of the Federal Communications Commission, as the new head of that agency, I knew she'd have something to say.
That was a few months ago, but we agreed that we should wait to see what Pai would do in his new post before letting her loose. According to Crawford, the results — above all, a frontal assault on the F.C.C.'s net neutrality rule — haven't surprised her.
"Chairman Pai is willing to ignore anything or anyone that doesn't fit with his world view: that unconstrained markets for infrastructure will magically provide all the benefits that people could ever reasonably want," she told me. "He's a skilled speaker who enjoys using pop culture references to connect with his audiences."
Trump's F.C.C. isn't the only place taking aim at the internet. Congress, in a party line vote, recently approved a bill to give telecom providers greater access to consumer information online — a move that privacy advocates say gives them dangerously in-depth access to our personal information.
And while Trump talked a good game about opposing big-business mergers on the campaign trail, he and members of Congress are being lobbied aggressively by the telecom industry to approve a coming wave of mergers, something Crawford and others say will mean even less consumer choice, higher prices and poorer service — at a time when the quality of America's internet access, broadly speaking, is falling well behind that of countries like Sweden, South Korea and Japan.
The problem, as Crawford sees it, is that Pai and other antiregulation advocates misunderstand the nature of the telecom industry.
"Basic communications infrastructure isn't like any other commodity product," she said. "Left to their own devices, private telecom companies will systematically consolidate to control richer and denser areas, avoid capital expenditures like upgrading to fiber, and leave out thinly-populated or poorer areas.
"It's not evil; it's just how markets work. But today high-capacity internet access is a utility, like electricity and water," she added. "Without government intervention we'll leave millions of Americans behind and rob ourselves of the opportunity to lead the world in innovation and job creation."

Re: IDC Big Data Trends
@dcawrey, definitely.  It is becoming part of the fabric of technology.  I would take it a step further and state that it is becoming a utility throughout technology applications.  It's value will continue to grow I believe.

Re: IDC Big Data Trends
@DHagar Very true - I think because big data is so multidiscipinary it is just getting lumped into other facets of technology. 

This means hearing less about it as a standalone entity I guess.

Re: Big Data more in the future​
@clrmoney, true.  There are more data points and, again, data is actually the product of technology - so this just feeds the sources, volume, and concept of data as an asset.

Re: IDC Big Data Trends
@Ariella,  correct - it is interpretation of the data and giving it new uses, which is moving into the AI and cognitive computing realm.  It also makes it more of a business tool in giving decision makers new access to information.

Re: IDC Big Data Trends
@dcawrey, exactly - that is where the value will be.

Big data hs been alive - it is actually rolling up into the newer areas of interest, IoT and AI and cognitive computing.  But the common thread is now "use" of the data that comes from the technology.  Intelligence now becomes - access to more data points, data connections, AND insights.  It opens up a horizontal value-driven capability that will further feed cross-functional expertise and facilitate collaboration.  Key be of key value to business.

But this then feeds the other technologies, SDN/NFV, overall virtualization, etc.  It's a fascinating transformation.

Re: IDC Big Data Trends
@dcawrey In 2012 it was a very big thing. Big data still serves as the basis for a predictive analytics, but it's not quite as attention-grabbing any more. The cool term du jour in that category seems to be AI.

Big Data more in the future​
Of course I'm not surprised with data being over 200 billion by 2020 with advanced technology and other resources they have to offer.

Re: IDC Big Data Trends
I haven't been hearing too much about big data as of late, but I know it is a growing industry. This is especially true for big companies. Those organizations already have a ton of data. They just need to leverage it better to make business decisions.
