A data set is considered “big data” when it is so huge or complicated that more conventional data analysis methods prove insufficient. Big data management is the same as data management but focuses on research and analytics to deal with huge data in various formats, like text, numbers and pictures. Big data’s required quantity and complexity have created challenges for data management, requiring sophisticated techniques to extract value from the collected data.
Big data gives you new insights and opportunities for improvement. Advanced analytics tools analyze the multiple datasets, including unstructured data and text logs, in your transaction processing systems to give you new insights for a competitive advantage.
What is the role of a big data manager?
A Big Data Manager is responsible for developing and managing business-oriented systems. The manager’s responsibility for business intelligence and big data analytics solutions is to ensure good data quality and accessibility. They need to be able to analyze the organization’s current processes, determine how they can be improved, and execute changes to improve them.
Big data managers manage and analyze massive amounts of unstructured, semi-structured and structured data. They ensure that business data is accessible for application development and support managers. Big Data Managers also work to ensure that data remains relevant through business cycles by performing detailed analysis, performance tuning and managing new technology implementations.
