Dr Bhuvan Unhelkar
Big data Strategies for Agile Business
Big Data is characterized by 4 V’s : Volume, Velocity, Variety and Veracity. These characteristics in themselves are not sufficient to generate Value for organizations. Value is defined through Business Agility – the ability to make faster and more accurate business decisions based on the Analytics.
This keynote presentation argues for the phenomenal importance of a 5th V from Big Data, “V for Value” – and presents the outline of a Big Data Framework for Agile Business (BDFAB v2.5) as a holistic approach to adopting Big Data for business value.
