Big Data and the importance your researchers

Big data comes with big value. But how do we get to that value? The humans behind the technology are what ultimately makes big data the value to put companies ahead of their consumers by understanding what motivates the actions behind the data.
David Wilson of FGI Research points out that three main services have propelled Big Data to the spot that it holds today in data: Google, Facebook and Amazon. Adding analytics to the large amount of data will lead to value and insights, but the challenge lies within the team insights are coming from. While you can't see why your consumers are doing what they're doing, you do have an advantage due to the large amount of data coming from so many consumers. The Harvard Business Review also looks at the important human component. The technology used to collect the data is integral, but it's up to the humans to see the connection and derive the insights that will help give their company a competitive advantage and better meet their consumers needs.
