“It’s exciting to see that companies using big data technologies are realizing the impact that’s been promised for some time,” said Chris Twogood, Vice President, Product and Services Marketing, Teradata. “Companies aren’t just committed to investing in big data analytics; most companies are seeing a material impact as a result of that investment. One out of five survey respondents (21 percent) agreed that big data analytics is the single most important path to competitive advantage while 38 percent called it a top five issue.”

Twogood said that deploying big data analytics through an analytical ecosystem including a data warehouse along with open source technology provides the integration across multiple disparate systems that further enhance competitive advantage.

Sunil Jose, Managing Director, Teradata India, added, “We’re seeing a growing demand for big data analytics from banking, telecommunications, retail and e-commerce segments as they realize the direct correlation the technology has on their immediate and long term business objectives impacting both, bottom-line and top-line growth.”
