Big data best practice means a best-of-breed approach

The days of operating a single vendor IT software estate are behind us. Such is the pace of innovation and change, putting all your eggs in one basket simply won’t do. Businesses need the ability to mix and match, leveraging the very best new and existing technologies for the task at hand. Nowhere is this more clearly the case than with big data, analytics and the cloud. Data brings clear benefits to any business that harnesses it. From greater insight, more informed decision-making, to better efficiencies of operation and execution. Big data that is used correctly can unlock opportunities far beyond those achievable with individual silos of information.
