Interesting Executive survey from the Oct 2017 Harvard Business Journal on the status of Big Data projects within their organizations..
Harvard Business Journal; survey shows 48% of companies use Big Data for expense reduction, while 36% use Big Data to add revenue, 48.4% report measurable results from their Big Data investments, and 87% of executives say their Big Data projects were “successful”.
This is good news for Open Source Big Data products such as Hadoop, Mongodb , Spark, and Cassandra as Corporations realize the value in both structured and unstructured data as well as Data Scientists and Engineers. Â This is setting the stage for the coming Machine Learning and AI revolution as Big Data infrastructure is built out and the data sets become more meaningful!
