Big Data Analytics Simply In Depth

The goal of this book is to provide a firm grounding in laying out a strategy for adopting big data techniques. It is meant to provide an overview of what big data is and why it can add value, what types of problems are suited to a big data approach, and how to properly plan to determine the need, align the right people in the organization, and develop a strategic plan for integration. My intent is to provide an overview within each chapter that addresses some pertinent aspect of the ecosystem or the process of adopting big data. A number of my ex-students who are top most industry professionals, are key contributors to the development of this book, and I take this opportunity to thank them for their support.
