Big Data now being perceived as strategic

Survey shows that enterprises want control over information to drive competitive advantages

Enterprises are becoming increasingly interested in Big Data. A study commissioned by HP
has revealed that a vast majority of organizations in Asia Pacific believe that gaining insight
and effectively managing Big Data can be strategic to their cause.
The survey involving a mix of public and private sector enterprises showed that 62 per cent
of private organizations in the region indicated that an effective information optimization
strategy would provide them with a competitive advantage. While 56 per cent of public sector
respondents indicated that an effective information optimization strategy would allow them to
better serve citizens. Additionally, 60 per cent of respondents regard the skills of a chief data
officer as imperative to bridge the chasm between Big Data and driving enterprise insight.
However, while executives understand the importance of gaining command over the variety,
velocity and volume of information, they regard their organizations as unable to address the
associated challenges:
Only 15 per cent of executives said their organizations currently incorporate
unstructured data into their enterprise insights, processes and strategy.
More than half of business executives reported that their organizations are not
equipped with the right solutions to gain insight from Big Data.
Of the executives surveyed, only 12 per cent said that their IT department
immediately provides the right information to obtain actionable insight in order to drive
the right business outcome, up from two percent compared to last year.
More than half of executives admitted that their organizations are not currently
prepared with the right strategies, tools and policies to prevent data corruption and
unauthorized access to their data.
In a world where information is everywhere, enterprises are beginning to understand that
deriving actionable insights from all types of data is the key to driving success. In the next
three years, more than 80 per cent of organizations plan to incorporate unstructured data into
their enterprise insights, processes and strategy.
