BIG DATA

BIG DATA - Consists of data sets that grow so large and complex that they become awkward to work with using on-hand database management tools. Difficulties include capture, storage,^[3] search, sharing, analytic,^[4] and visualizing. This trend continues because of the benefits of working with larger and larger data sets allowing analysts to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime."^[5] Though a moving target, current limits are on the order of data.

CONSUMERZATION OF I.T

This “Consumer-Powered IT” trend is already turning traditional IT models on their head. It’s a powerful new way to work that, in our view at Unisys, will transform organizations over the next three to five years and usher in a new wave of business productivity. And yet most organizations are woefully unprepared to capitalize on this powerful movement.
A recent Unisys study, conducted by IDC, exposes a troubling gap between the activities and expectations of new generations of “iWorkers” and their employers’ readiness to manage, secure, and support this movement—and capitalize on it. Capitalizing on it means; boosting productivity with new ways of connecting and sharing, staying competitive as an innovative company and workplace, and delivering IT flexibly while managing security.
