New AIIM Study Finds Killer Apps Will Drive Big Data Initiatives
To Mine Value From Big Data, Organizations Need to First Manage Structured and Unstructured Data and Source the Expertise to Exploit New Tools and Analytic Capabilities
(firmenpresse) - SILVER SPRING, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 05/29/12 -- AIIM, the global community of information professionals, today announced a new Industry Watch Report titled, "." The research publication offers business insight into the key drivers, issues and deployment of Big Data, including the demand for unstructured analysis techniques. The study found 70 percent of business and technology professionals have a killer application idea for Big Data that could be used for competitive advantage, running the business smoothly or detecting non-compliance, although the majority of respondents regard details as closely guarded trade secrets.
More than half of respondents want to make use of Big Data and, over the next three years, plan to invest in consultancy services, hardware and software. Issues holding users back include lack of expertise, cost and the difficulty of connecting their datasets. In fact, 26 percent of organizations are still struggling to organize their content. Opening up unmanaged content for search or analysis exposes security risks -- a concern for 64 percent and a definite show-stopper for 19 percent.
Despite concerns, 61 percent see the value in linking structured and unstructured datasets, and 56 percent want to carry out sophisticated analytics on unstructured content. Currently, customer communications monitoring, trend spotting and content categorizing are the most popular applications of Big Data techniques. Fully half of the respondents are interested in applying Big Data to real-time prediction or incident prevention by analyzing data as diverse as social media sentiment, Web behavior and help desk calls, although only 10 percent are currently doing so.
"Business managers should ask blue-sky 'if only we knew' questions about the business before thinking about how it can be done and at what cost," said , director of market intelligence at AIIM. "If you play those questions against the data you already have, data you could collect or data that you could source elsewhere, it will enable you to make the best use of your Big Data investment."
In order to analyze the massive volumes of new structured and unstructured information that are streaming into organizations, many information professionals are considering cloud technologies. However, due to concerns over security, the majority of respondents, 88 percent, would be inclined to create big datasets for analysis on-premise or in a private cloud rather than as a SaaS application or hosted on a public cloud infrastructure.
The ability to analyze and correlate Big Data and Big Content repositories is considered very useful by the majority of respondents. In particular, most see the linking of unstructured text or rich media data with structured transactional data very attractive. The key to executing the killer application on Big Data will require expertise and generic analytic platforms. For now Big Data is still in the early adoption phase, although AIIM foresees significant growth in the next two to three years.
