Top 7 Deadly Sins of Big Data Users


#2 Negligence – Misapplied Analysis:

Analysis is one major step in big data usage. With the accumulation of big data at yearly basis, pin point analysis is the main criteria in big data for all organizations. A miscalculated analysis can turn out to be a huge disaster and companies, for sure, don’t want that to happen. It’s easy to get errors during analysis, but when the weightage of big data simply increases, a small miscalculation can bring out huge problems within the company. Williams said "Not everyone is a data expert, and they can draw the wrong conclusions. You must analyze the data rigorously to create simple, easy-to-understand reports.”

#3 Gluttony - Too many reports:

Reports are always good, but too many reports can always lead to misconception and even can result at a backfire. Williams clearly points out that, with advanced tools in information collection and visualization, it’s often easy for organizations to produce too many reports that can miss the target and even highlight unwanted conceit metrics. “Whether you're doing this in-house or with third-party vendors, it's easy to spit out a lot of reports, a lot of data," said Williams. "Too much information can cloud your judgment, and that makes it hard to make decisions."
