The Business Challenge lies in having an effective Data Strategy to leverage Big Data.

“Most companies remain on the big data sidelines too long, then fail. An iterative, start-small approach can help you avoid common pitfalls. 92% of organizations are still stuck in neutral…”


Data is an Enterprise Business Asset. Its information spans across products, services, people, and different organizational units. Enterprise data is diverse, voluminous, and fast-evolving. This makes it difficult to manage and build analytics in real-time. Right data initiatives are problematic to establish. Becoming a data-driven company is a journey characterized by change, fluidity and quick wins. At i3, we help build your organization's competitive advantage by guiding you through the journey to data and analytics optimization.

Data Strategy Challenge

Businesses need a clear data strategy if they hope to effectively leverage Big Data as a core business asset. Such data strategy needs to be dynamic and agile and it should provide a roadmap for the future needs of changing Business and Technology. It has to be capable of making the work in progress adaptable to changing business needs.

Big Data Adoption Perspectives

The common challenges that organizations face while in the process of developing an effective data strategy are often addressed from two dissimilar perspectives.

The Technical Perspective

The technical perspective is mainly driven by the lack of knowledge and by the general IT culture change that becomes essential in traditional IT organizations when it comes to adopting to Big Data. The typical questions that arise are:

  • How do we maintain data governance while in the process of Big Data exploration
  • How do we expand our knowledge base to support Big Data technologies
  • How do we architect for future change
  • How do we choose the right technology to support our primary use case
  • How do we maintain security
  • How do we balance governance and drive agility
  • How do we come up with change management while adopting Big Data

The Business Perspective

The second perspective, perhaps the more important one, is the business perspective. It deals with how to adopt Big Data and efficiently drive and optimize business outcomes. Business outcomes are definitely improved when they are motivated and supported by data. Yet, even when organizations have some Data Science experience, their Big Data initiatives often struggle in operationalizing their Data Science efforts. The typical questions that arise from the business perspective are:
