Big data and analytics can be both large in scale and complexity in scope, not only due to the amount of data an organisation holds but also the volume hidden across the business.

There are three key things your business must get right in order to leverage the use of Big data and analytics:

• Build capability that enables the use of analytics everywhere. All employees should be making fact-based decisions, instead of relying on instinct and past experience.
• Be proactive about privacy, security and governance. Ensure that the data being analysed is safe, secure and accurate.
• Invest in a Big Data and Analytics platform that is tuned to the task of handling all types of data and analytics, regardless of form or function.
