Unlock your data and reimagine your business
Data is more available than ever before, and the need to integrate different sources of data has never been more critical. In just the last two years 90% of the data in the world was generated. With 2.5 quintillion bytes of data generated daily, it is clear that the future is filled with more data. As a result, this could mean more data problems for your business.
Luckily, ECIT Group can help you solve your big data problems.

Common big data problems
Problem
There are so many options, so it is understandably overwhelming when deciding the data solution that’s right for your business, especially when it will likely affect all departments and hopefully be a long-term strategy.
Solution
It’s always a good idea to leverage the experience of your in-house experts. If that’s not an option, hire a consultancy firm to assist in the decision-making process.
Problem
Having data is only useful when it’s accurate. Low-quality data not only serves no purpose, but it also uses unnecessary storage and can harm the ability to gather insights from clean data.
Solution
Start by defining the required data you want to collect (align the information needed to the business goals). Cleanse your data regularly and normalise it before using it in any Business Intelligence (BI) platform. Once you have your data structured and cleansed, you can segment it for better analysis.
Problem
You may have all the data you need. It’s clean, accurate and organised. But how do you use it to provide valuable insights to improve your business?
Solution
It doesn’t matter if you have live dashboard reports or a dedicated analytics team, make sure you turn your data into measurable outcomes. This means understanding your data and transforming it into actions for the business to take to produce wins for the company.
Problem
Companies sometimes silo data to a few people or one department. Not only does this put immense responsibility on a select few, but it also creates a lack of accessibility throughout the organisation. Data silos often inhibit the benefits of collecting data in the first place.
Solution
It sounds simple, but it’s not done enough – integrate your data and share it with the company. Set clear expectations and create a reporting system that caters for each department’s needs.
