New year’s resolutions for business looking to leverage big data in 2019

At the beginning of a New Year people make personal resolutions and commitments to being better, achieving more and moving faster. The same should be said for most businesses, too: each new year should bring firm determination to become more agile, resilient and profitable. Many organisations have diverted to new trends and technologies in order to aid faster decision-making amid a rapidly transforming business environment, and one area in which this is particularly palpable is Big Data. Big Data helps organisations harness their data and use it to identify new opportunities or fixable omissions in business practices. By leveraging this information businesses can benefit from smarter and more strategic decisions, more efficient operations, happier customers, and higher profits. Key to this is the integration of big data analytics. Software that automates this process is increasingly allowing businesses to access this information and act upon it, effectively in real time.
