    Lecture 2: Business Motivations and Drivers for Big Data Adoption

    • Learning Objectives: Students should be able to demonstrate understanding of basic concepts and practices of big data technology.
    • Key Topics:
      • Marketplace Dynamics (2.1)
      • Business Process Management (2.2)
      • Data Analytics & Data Science (2.3)
      • Digitization (2.4)
      • Internet of Everything (2.5)

    2.1 Marketplace Dynamics

    • Evolution of information systems (from 1970s to 2010s) shows a shift from operational reporting to operational, tactical, and strategic reporting, analysis, and visualization with predictive capabilities.
    • Limitations of previous systems included data silos, limited integration, and mostly printed reports.
    • Big data has facilitated democratization, providing more data to more people with better insights.
    • Mostly used by data scientists, the systems are mostly standalone, leading to a more interactive data experience.

    2.2 Business Process Management

    • Business processes describe how work is performed within an organization, encompassing activities and relationships of actors within the organization.
    • Models are connected with models of roles, structure, entities, relationships, business rules, and user interfaces.
    • Detailed analysis can cluster customers by contact method, streamlining interactions with systems like the contact center, customer-facing systems, and back office systems.

    2.3 Data Analytics & Data Science

    • The need for techniques and technologies to extract meaningful information and insights has increased.
    • Computational and statistical techniques have merged with data warehouses, introducing new tools for Big Data analysis.
    • Key skills: computer science, machine learning, software development, big data software (Hadoop, Spark), algorithm development, basic statistical analysis, programming languages (Java, Python, R, SQL), data mining, problem-solving, data storytelling.
    • Data analytics is the entry level of data science, focusing on descriptive statistics, data visualization, and communicating data to derive conclusions.

    2.4 Digitization

    • Digital mediums replace physical mediums for communication and delivery, saving time and costs.
    • Digitization supports secondary data collection, enabling customized marketing, automated recommendations, and product optimization.
    • Examples: online banking, on-demand TV, streaming video.

    2.5 Internet of Everything (IoE)

    • IoE is the convergence of advancements in information and communication technology, impacting business architecture and processes.
    • Big data is central to IoE.
    • IoE integrates services from smart connected devices into meaningful business processes.
    • Example: Precision agriculture (GPS-controlled tractors, sensors, on-demand watering, fertilization, and seeding equipment) to maximize field productivity and minimize costs.
    • IoE taxonomy includes reactive, adaptive, autonomous, and collaborative levels of smartness in increasing order.
    • IoE architecture involves networked connections of people, process, data, and things.
    • Key aspects: Turning data into more useful information for decision-making, delivering the right information to the right person or machine at the right time, connecting people in more relevant, valuable ways, and integrating physical devices and objects with the Internet for intelligent decision-making.
