The term "Big Data" has lost its relevance. The fact remains, though: every dataset is becoming a big data set, whether its owners and users know (and understand) that or not. Big data isn't just something that happens to other people or giant companies like Google and Amazon. It's happening, right now, to companies like yours.
Recently, at Eureka!, our annual client conference, I presented on the evolution of Big Data technologies including the different approaches that support the complex and vast amount of data organizations are now dealing with. In this post, I'll break down some of my presentation and dig into the current state of Big Data, the trends driving its evolution, and one major shift that'll deliver up massive value for companies in the next wave of Big Data's growth.
