3. Big data analytics
Big data analytics includes the idea of analyzing the structured and unstructured data that
helps in enhancing the performance of an organization. Data analytics includes analysis of
software for the purpose of managing the data. With the help of implementing new ideas in
organization it becomes easy to bring opportunities. This enhances the efficiency of the business
and ensures that each activity is being carried out successfully. The main importance behind
using big data analytics is that it helps in organizational harness and offers better opportunities
for accessing the data. Some basic concepts of big data analytics is that it helps in ensuring better
performance throughout the system.
About Big Data analytics in IS
Big data analytics is referred to the emerging trend of information system. This is mainly
referred to the strategy of analyzing a wide range of data that helps in performing the activities.
Big data analytics ensures that the data scientists are able to evaluate a large volume of
transaction data for the purpose of continuing the business activities. Thus it can be stated that
with the use of big data analytics it becomes easy to manage the information within an
organization. The concept of big data analytics offers a wide range of techniques for analysis of
the data, development of cloud computing and business intelligence. The concept of big data
analytics has gained a huge importance in the field of education, healthcare, and media, in
manufacturing industries and in international development. The big data analytics is used for the
purpose of examining a large variety of data for the purpose of generating results. Big data
analysis will ensure that the system is able to perform effectively within the organization.
