Big Data

[GB9]

Getting seriously peed off by the term Big Data appearing in role requirements.

For those of you in HR / Agency - Big Data is a marketing term. There is no difference to what you can do with data now.

For those responsible for data security / safety / accuracy - Big Data also equals 'uncontrolled'. The sort of thing most companies have been battling against for years.

Ermmm......I don't like lying mainly! However, based upon the Big Data definitions I have seen I just need to change a couple of words in my CV.

Just seen an ad asking for a track record of delivering Big Data in FTSE organisations. Bless.

Is there money to be made out of putting 'Big Data' in 'the cloud' and offering it 'as a service'?

As you know that approach falls down when you talk to real expert.

Theere aren't many of those in any subject, so it's probably worth taking the risk.

"Big data" has some meaning in that the tools and techniques you use for both low level stuff like ETL, data warehousing and high-level stuff like analysis, data mining and modelling need to be modified as opposed to when you have "small data"

Lets be honest the odds of meeting one is very low.
