It is not a new phenomenon that Data is generated in Business. People had managed Data in the past and have been managing it even now. Then what’s new that we are talking about!

• We started talking with Data…
• We started listening to Data…
• We started analyzing Data…
• We started drawing the patterns in Data…
• We started formulating the Algorithms and applying them on Data…
• We built capabilities to work on significantly large pools of Data…
• We started taking Decisions with the help of Data…
• We started building Strategies using Data…
• Our greed for Data increased further and we started collecting even more volumes of Data…

Now, Data in Business is considered to be a greatest asset, which lays down a successful path to run Organizations.

Analytics is the art and science of identifying hidden patterns in Data to aid Decision making using Statistical and Mathematical techniques for creating Algorithms (to work on Data) and using Technology to work on Large sums of Data in extremely small amounts of time.

According to IBM (in 2013), 90% of the Data in the World has been produced in the last 2 years.

Mc Kinsey did a report on “Big Data Analytics” in 2011 and estimated a short fall of 1.5 million data savvy managers in US alone.
