The term “big data”
is very confusing; not
sure what it means
It’s a bunch of hype
with little substance
and few new ideas
It’s about new
technologies that
allow us to handle
more data
It’s an extension of
existing analytics and
BI practices suited
for data that is larger
or faster than we are
used to
It’s a whole new way
of thinking about the
value in data that
requires new
analytics and
leverages some new
technologies

IoT data is flowing by, and value is
slipping away.
Big data isn’t just a story about lakes
anymore . . .
. . . it’s about streams and raging torrents
of information.
