Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
I was at a conference last week and one of the organizers asked the crowd of about 100 CIOs if they are working on a Big Data project. Only about 10 percent raised their hands. Why is the adoption rate so low? One major barrier in the adoption of Big Data is understanding how the Big Data concepts can be applied to each corporation. As I thought about the changes made to the ways we […]
