While there is broad industry consensus on the value of Big Data, there is no standardized approach for how to begin and complete a project. In addition, some companies mistakenly focus on technology first instead of business objectives. Because Big Data is only as good as the insight you're able to derive from the information, it is important that you have a strategy to get the most from your information. Otherwise, you will have wasted plenty of time and money. In this article, we lay out the fours steps to successfully implementing a Big Data project.
Is your company's intranet a useful, one-stop-shop for employees to access the information they need to better perform their jobs? Or is it an outdated misuse of resources that your employees don't use? In 2009, at Toshiba America Medical Systems, we discovered our intranet fell into the latter category. We knew, through word of mouth and employee feedback, that a very small percentage of employees used the intranet, but we had to figure out the reason why: Was it difficult to use or was the content irrelevant? As it turns out, it was a combination of the two. We set out on an intranet overhaul to create a more user-centric, visually interesting and functional portal.
Successful intranets today are more than arenas for news and collaboration; they are mobile workspaces that bind employees to a strong internal culture while allowing them to do work. "Intranets have a much wider purpose than just sharing useful, informative content," explains Mark Morrell, BT alum and U.K.-based intranet consultant. "Originally this was the basis for its purpose, but successful intranets have widened their scope to offer collaborative tools so employees are able to communicate and share views and opinions with anyone to help solve business problems and create solutions."
We have reached the tipping point when it comes to content growth. It is growing at a rate that would have been considered unimaginable just a few short years ago. Even industry analysts are having a difficult time grasping this reality. Nowhere is this more evident than in IDC's projection for the total amount of content by the end of the decade. In 2011, IDC pegged the amount of all unstructured content by 2020 at 36 zettabytes (ZB). Within a year, it had revised the estimate to 40ZB.
