"The most widely cited benefit of Big Data is its potential to create a unified view of a customer," says Kerem Arsal, Manager at Pyramid Research. The demand for personalization, the rate of innovation and the selection of customers are several market considerations organizations should consider before implementing Big Data initiatives. In addition, organizations must consider technical aspects like data analytics, management, storage and processing power, and organizational matters such as access to human resources, prioritization of R&D and governance of structure and incentives. Regulatory concerns around privacy, data ownership and net neutrality are important to consider, but the biggest regulatory concerns will not appear until its applications are implemented, he notes.
