‘Big Data’s Big Meaning For Marketing’ – ‘The Forrester Blog’
The latest article on ‘The Forrester Blog’ is titled “Big Data’s Big Meaning For Marketing”.
Fatemeh Khatibloo says, “Big data this, big data that. Hardly a day goes by when we’re not bombarded with messages about the big data platforms and technologies that will solve all our marketing problems. Let’s be honest though: these tools and technologies alone simply won’t solve the big data challenge. But the effect of all that media and market hype? A lot of confusion and mistrust on the part of marketing leaders about what big data really is, what it can do, and how it should be incorporated into business strategy. And that’s holding a lot of firms back from maximizing the power of the data at their disposal.
By now you’re asking yourself how anything I’ve said so far is different or unique. Here it is: “big data” isn’t about exabytes or petabytes. It’s not about velocity. It’s not a project or Hadoop or any other single thing. Big data is a journey that every company must take to close the gap between the data that’s available to them“.
