What is Big Data?

With every passing second, the amount of data shared and transferred between humans is unimaginable. To manage, analyze, make predictions and decisions using that data is a daunting task. With data being a critical asset, companies today strive to understand the latest market trends, customer preferences and other requirements, thus making understanding large amount of data imperative.

Type of data involved in Big Data:

• Structured Data: Data that is stored in relational databases (tables, columns-rows format) is easily-managed and analyzed, since it can be converted into different predictive and descriptive models.
• Semi-Structured Data: This type of data is partly structured and unstructured. Semi-structured data is typically stored in documents like XML, JSON or CSV files, and through various processes that can be easily transferred to relational databases.
• Unstructured Data: Most of the organizational data tends to be unstructured, as it is either stored in some textual or multimedia format. Some of the most common examples of unstructured data are images, emails, audio-video files, word documents, and PowerPoint presentations.

Some benefits of Big Data analysis:

• Gives you real-time analysis that can help improve business performance
• Make faster and better business decisions
• Identify new business opportunities
• Help you innovate and deliver new products and services, based on market trends and customer requirements
• Optimize/Improvise existing services
• Optimize business processes
• Understand and reduce security-related flaws

Big Data Use Cases

Big Data is ever-evolving and companies like Amazon, eBay, Netflix, American Express and Starbucks are already leveraging the benefits of Big Data. If you’re wondering, how we can help you benefit from Big Data, here are some of our real-world cases:

• Dashboard App: Big Data analytics performs a predictive, diagnostic and descriptive analysis of your data that can give you clear information about current as well as future trends in the market. This project was to create a dashboard to give complete insight about customer needs, most popular and viewed products, most searched products, current market trends (what product is being sold the most) and their feedback. It also gave real-time data about current customer requirements and their preferences, and thus allowed our clients to focus on innovating new products and services. This will help them remain a step ahead of their competitors.
• Performance Insight App: This app was used by our client to get complete details about their employees, their performance and the company's current performance, which helped the HR team to profile employee information and act quickly on policies that could improve overall workplace performance.
• Recommendation System: This app showed information about all the latest movies and allowed users to view them online. In this app, we integrated algorithm and Big Data analytics that analyzed users’ activities and their searches to compare with other users’ searches, and provide them recommendations about what they might want to watch next.
• Data Warehouse Replacement: This client had a data warehouse and wanted more insight into its reporting. Our expert team provided them a solution that used both Elasticsearch and Hadoop technologies that provided them real-time reports and insights about their services. We gave them solutions using Big Data technologies over Data Warehousing tools, which saved millions of dollars.
