Rationale
Current day IT enabled organizations generate massive amounts of data (often referred to as "Big Data") from transactions, business interactions, social exchanges and sensors. Such data provides immense opportunity to use information to better-run the business.
This data continues to grow exponentially with increased adoption of Internet and mobile technologies. There is an expected shortage of talented analysts who can help organizations work with this much big data.
Big data:The next frontier for innovation, competition, and productivity estimates that by 2018, "the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions.?
