More and more technologists are getting excited about "Big Data", which they often define ashaving greater volume, greater variety, and greater velocity than traditional data assets.Although "Big Data" has great potential to spur innovation, the enabling technology andanalytics create new challenges and risks. Organizations are investing significant time andmoney in "Big Data" strategies, tactics, teams and tools. Yet, despite the hype, most "Big Data"initiatives have not generated concrete and positive ROI.

Defining Big Data: “Three Vs”

"Big Data“ is often defined as data with:

greater volume…

greater variety…

and/or

greater velocity….

Page 13: Data to Dollars™ - Practical Analytics in the Big Data Era Jaime Fitzgerald April 2012

Another Way to Define “Big Data”

What are the optimal methods to accomplish your goal?

• Centralized• Relational DBs (tables)

• Distributed• Non‐relational DBs (key‐value pairs)

Note that this definition hinges on methods applied, not on dataset sizes:

800GB Can Be “Traditional”

80GB Can Be “Big Data”

• SQL queries • Map‐reduce and custom algorithms

• Centralized• Standardized analytics

• Distributed• Custom analytics

• MS SQL Server• Oracle• Tableau• Excel pivot tables

• Hadoop• BigTable• Riak• Amazon S3

Simplify Your Analytic Process via “Causal Clarity”

• …Clearly defining “Cause and Effect” is the most crucial enabler of analysis that is simple, efficient and high impact.

Define Goal

Define Business Model

Can be anything!:

– Marketing ROI

– Non‐profit impact

– Customer satisfaction

– Etc.

To what customers

At what price

Cost structure (fixed vs. variable)

Aka “drivers tree”

What We Need to Get Practical

• To get practical about analytics, we need three things…

What We Need Definition

1. Causal Clarity re: Your Business Model

How You Make Money Key Drivers of Results

2. Definition of Your Points of Opportunity

Gaps vs. Potential Opportunities Recognized

3. A Plan to Capture the Opportunity

Possible, for very large data sets that cannot be handled at all with typical relational databases.

Faster, for large data sets that can be handled with typical relational databases, but doing so would take a long time. This is the situation in the example above.

Cheaper, for large data sets that can be handled with typical relational databases, but doing so would be very expensive.
