Integrating Big Data with Traditional Data Management Tools You Are Currently Using

The good news is that Oracle can help you rein in your big data so that you could gather, store, organize and analyze it. 

Big data is, well, big.  And the benefits are endless.  If you are storing, analyzing and using it right, big data can change the way you run your business and even give you important insights that you couldn’t get otherwise.  The good news is that even the smallest of organizations can easily get into big data because of the lowering cost of storage and affordable CPUs.

And mind you, data growth is exploding.  With more channels that you can use to interact with customers, you can have data from anywhere: your Web site, your stores, your Facebook page, your mobile apps, etc.  In fact, according to the World Economic Forum, mobile and online financial transactions, GPS coordinates and social media activities alone generate around 2.5 quintillion bytes daily.

What is Big Data?

Big data is actually data you get from non-traditional sources, which could be voluminous yet not structured in any way.  You need to incorporate these to the data you already have.  For example, you can use your site’s visitor statistics, your customers’ reviews and comments and other information that you are getting now, and add big data to these, such as the purchasing history of that particular customer and what he or she says on social media about you.

In short, your old data sources are no longer enough to give you the much needed insights and facts that you need to make that big decision and to improve your operations.  The question is no longer “Should we use big data?” but “Where do we start?”

Similar to your old data sources, you must be able to capture, organize, store and analyze big data.  This is much more difficult than it sounds because big data comes from new sources and involves large volumes of unstructured data.  Businesses are simply not used to using big data.

The good news is that Oracle can help you rein in your big data so that you could gather, store, organize and analyze it.  Here’s how it can do so:
