THE DATA OF TODAY


PURPLE AND DATABack in 1570 BC, purple dye could only be extracted by a certain kind of Mollusk near the ancient Phoenician city

It would take 10,000 snails to generate 1 gram of dye

Only the rich and powerful had access to purple

In 1856, Englishman William Henry Perkin accidentally created synthetic dye making it widely available and “democratizing” it while trying to cure Malaria

The “Democratization of Data” is here!


DATA IS GROWINGExternal sources are now generating most of our content

More than 85 percent of the data available to organizations is automatically generated – from every device, sensor, upload, tweet, purchase, shipment and keystroke - Gartner

In 2012, we generated 2.8 zettabytes (2.8 trillion gigabytes) of data

IDC predicts we will generate 40 zettabytes by 2020!

THE USER OF TODAY


SELF SERVICE IS KING

According to Gartner, “By 2017, most business users and analysts in organizations will have access to self-service tools to prepare data for analysis”

Forbes reported, “Visual data-discovery, an important enabler of end user self-service, will grow 2.5 x faster than the rest of the market, becoming by 2018 a requirement for all enterprises.”
