Big data, data is generated in different areas, targeting different users, access data in multiple silos and locations

It is generated from transaction systems, OLAP and OLTP.

It is generated from social media world in various product areas

It includes merge structured and unstructured and brand sentiment

Predictive maintenance for auto companies includes how long emissions will turn, will it require maintenance

It includes stream data real time and do advanced analysis

Network optimization for distribution of networks, fraud detection, personalized care, right treatment at the right time

Churn includes customers track who talks about product; CPG use case

As data is exploding, things becomes data challenged for IT teams
