Big Data

Data is vital for the success and growth for all companies. Every day, we create about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data. This immense collected data is what the industry refers to as Big Data. This data generates from everywhere: purchase transaction records, social media websites, tools that monitor weather, cellphone GPS signals, digital pictures and videos, etc. Big data spans through four dimensions which include volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. Big data is more than just a size and growth of data accumulating; it is an opportunity for anyone to find insights in new and emerging types of data and content. The data collected can be analyzed to help businesses make wiser business decisions and improve products and services.

Select a business, industry, or web application and in 3-5 pages show how Big Data impacts the functioning of the company, what information they collect and how they use it to make their decisions. Include 3-5 citations, 5-7 diagrams, graphics and infographics. Provide an argument for or against the collection of the information by this company and offer an alternative, if there is any.
