November 27, 2017 4:00 pm GMT

Data is set to grow exponentially and the winners in business will be those who can collect, manage and analyse it better than the competition. True, but tell us something new. Consider then, that data volume is set to grow 800% over the next 5 years, with 80 percent of that set to be unstructured data. (Source: Gartner)

Logically then, this puts analytics front and centre. But are organisations making the most of Big Data analytics? When you consider how many disparate data sources you have, it’s potentially worth billions in productivity benefits. A recent survey found that only 13 percent of organizations with a Big Data project claimed analytics were successfully adopted in their organization. Are you one of the 87 percent?
