Big data: What it is and why you need it
The amount of customer and operational data generated by businesses grows by the day, but few companies know how to harness it to improve operations and profits.
Sophisticated analytics open the door to a whole new world of possibilities, fuelling faster and better forecasting and planning, with the end result of better market performance.
Here are just a few key features of big data that companies need to keep in mind:
Volume
Five quintillion bytes of data are created every day around the world — that’s a million trillion bytes or 1 x 1018. The sheer volume of data demands specialised processing techniques in order to yield actionable insights.
Velocity
Big data analytics can be produced through batch processing, or via real-time (seconds) or near real-time (minutes) processing. The faster big data analysis is generated, the more robust the processing approach needs to be.
Variety
When you have more sources of data, they’re more likely to be in different formats, including traditional documents and databases, semi-structured and unstructured data from social media, and data from IoT devices and GPS.
Our data engineering services

Common risks and challenges in big data
Infrastructure costs
It’s commonly thought that big data services are cost-prohibitive for smaller businesses. While it’s true that processing, storing, and analysing big data all require resources, those costs can be estimated with a preliminary infrastructure analysis and then mitigated by optimising processing pipelines.
Performance
Incorrect algorithms. Unreliable data processing. Misguided conversion of insights. These are just some of the many factors that can affect the performance of big data solutions. We craft custom plans that start with choosing a proven tech stack and assessing a solution’s feasibility so your project is free from performance issues.
Data quality
To ensure data’s reliability, our domain experts take an iterative approach to data cleansing, analysis, visualisation, and review.
Data access and security concerns
Whether you need to secure signed NDAs, design a data encryption strategy, or stay aligned with internal and external security policies and requirements, we rely on security best practices to protect your data’s integrity.
Non-distributed algorithms
AI and big data pair well together since AI-powered apps can leverage vast amounts of data to constantly and autonomously update themselves. Our big data experts review early requirements and provide technical feedback to ensure AI and big data work efficiently, hand in hand.
