In today's digital age, organisations are inundated with large amounts of data generated from various source systems such as CRM systems, accounting systems and supply chain operations. This data holds the potential to drive strategic decision-making and enhance operational efficiencies. However, the volume and complexity of data can often present significant challenges for organisations striving to extract meaningful insights.
The challenge of big data
Organisations are generating data at an unprecedented rate, resulting in what is often referred to as "big data". This data comes in diverse formats – structured, semi-structured and unstructured – and from multiple sources, making it inherently complex. The challenge lies not only in storing and managing this data, but also in analysing it to derive actionable insights. Traditional data analysis methods often fall short when dealing with the scale and variety of modern datasets.
Key challenges include:
- Data volume: The sheer amount of data can overwhelm traditional data processing systems, leading to inefficiencies and delays.
- Data variety: With data coming from different sources, formats and structures, integrating and analysing it in a cohesive manner can be a daunting task.
- Data velocity: The speed at which new data is generated requires real-time or near-real-time processing capabilities.
- Data veracity: Ensuring data accuracy and reliability is crucial for making informed decisions.
