Big Data Projects : Objectives of Big Data Projects are Changing
Gartner also wanted to know about the Big Data initiatives. This reflects a significant shift to the disadvantage of IT decision makers. Some based on either financial metrics, to increase the efficiency or better decision making, which are not directly measurable.
This changes will not have an impact on the budget distribution, as per Gartner. Analysts advise CIOs urgently to sit down together with the respective departmental managers and other decision makers and direct towards the strategy development. Otherwise the CIOs role will be weakening, according to Gartner.
Another finding of the study refers to measuring a Return on Investment (ROI). 24 percent of those who are already investing in Big Data solutions, do not measure the ROI. For Gartner, it is not surprising – given the low maturity of Big Data in corporate practice it is difficult to define an ROI and measure. In the next poll the analysts expect a clearer picture. These difficulties are also reflected in another question – the greatest challenges to determine the value of Big Data initiatives. They the participants also complained about lack of skills and abilities (36 percent) of their employees. This second point is to increase with the further adaptation of Big Data, Gartner expects so.
