The tidal wave of data crashing across the web has made companies re-evaluate how they analyze their incoming information. Today’s firms are looking to optimize overall operations and Information Management’s article “Big Data Analytics: The Currency of the 21st Century Enterprise” explains why big data analytics is the universal answer.

Big data analytics necessitates new technology, processes and skills to enable firms to focus on the “art of the possible. Organizations have been able to employ analytics in sandbox environments to perform rapid analyses that dramatically accelerate time-to-answer and the process of moving from data to decision.
