34% of respondents see that big data will be an “essential capability” for their business (up from 27% eighteen months ago). Includes 10% where it is already essential (up from 9%). The number of respondents who don’t know what big data is has fallen from 14% to 6%.
65% have somewhat disorganized content, 81% have limited search capability and 60% have only basic BI reporting. This is not a good place to start for big data projects.
Connecting and linking multiple systems is the biggest challenge for potential users, particularly joining structured and unstructured data sets and analyzing textual data.
Lack of in-house expertise is the second biggest challenge to getting started. 34% of early adopters have used outside help. 32% up-skilled their existing team by recruitment or specific training.
For 63% security is a major issue, including 19% who consider it to be a show-stopper. Potential exposure of personally identifiable information is the biggest concern, followed by sensitive financial or legal data.
