Big Data, People and the SMB

Eric D. Brown

MAY 19, 2014

According to the 2014 IDG Enterprise Big Data survey , most large organizations today (almost 49% of survey respondents) claim to be well along the implementation path for big data initiatives and projects. Additionally, those large organizations are well ahead of their small and medium business (SMB) counterparts.

Incorporating Big Data into Your Business

Eric D. Brown

JANUARY 14, 2014

I read a lot of articles and blogs about big data. There are a lot of people singing the praises of big data and a lot of folks trying to sell services and platforms for helping with big data. I’ve done my share of praising myself but I’ve also tried to be realistic in my writings on big data.

Don’t Chase Big Data

FEBRUARY 25, 2014

Last week I noticed this little gem over on ReadWriteWeb.com : Gartner highlights that only 8% of enterprises have actually deployed big data projects despite 64% declaring their intention to do so.

Two examples of data helping SMB’s

Eric D. Brown

FEBRUARY 18, 2014

We often read anecdotal evidence of how companies and consultants are using big data to solve ‘big’ problems but it is rare that we see real world examples of the use of analytics and data to solve real-world business problems for small and midsized businesses. Don’t let the hype about big data scare you off.

The People Challenge for the Midsize Organization

Eric D. Brown

MAY 27, 2014

For example, for an organization to start exploring big data, they first need to find people and technologies that allow them to do the data collection,data storage and analysis that needs to be done. The challenge of finding the right people and technologies isn’t just an SMB challenge.

Eric D. Brown

NOVEMBER 21, 2013

I’ve argued in the past that big data can level the playing field for the small and medium business (SMB). SMB’s have been able to take advantage of the various resources available in the cloud for computing and storage, but they’ve rarely had access to computing power like Watson.
