Abstract
The 2013 EMA/9sight Big Data research makes a clear case for the maturation of Big Data as a critical approach for innovative companies. This year’s survey went beyond simple questions of strategy, adoption and use to explore why and how companies are utilizing Big Data. This year’s findings show an increased level of Big Data sophistication between 2012 and 2013 respondents. An improved understanding of the “domains of data” drives this increased sophistication and maturity. Highly developed use of Process-mediated, Machine-generated and Human-sourced information is prevalent throughout this year’s study.
