‘Big Data Analytics’ is a

converging set of innovations..

Challenge is to remove the complexity and make it

actionable

Big Data Myth Reality

Big data is a big

project

Right strategy, tools & processes can make big

data projects cost-effective..

Violates Privacy

Privacy-by-design, de-identification and

anonymization can address privacy issues..

Too Complex

Manageable with the right skill sets..

Takes too long to

deploy

Big data projects with the right leadership &

scope can deliver results within “days”..

Results have to be

100% accurate

Predictive is about weighing & judging different

probable outcomes..…Fast learning & continuous

refinement is the key..
