Big Data Vendors Seek To Move From Data To Decisions
The move from Data to Decisions examines the enablement of data-driven decisions across the entire organization. Holistic, data-informed decisions require a multi-diciplinary approach that incorporates performance monitoring with traditional business intelligence technologies. Gather key insights from your data, transform insights into actionable information, and then make the right decisions (see Figure 1).
