It should be no surprise that experts predict continued growth in the volume, variety, and velocity of data. It is a little more startling that there are still a large number of companies that have yet to harness the opportunities this data provides. According to the inside BIGDATA article, there are five reasons why this is still the case:

  1. Speedbumps at the start of the big data journey

  2. Delays due to decision-making around technology tools

  3. Issues with configuring the data science team

  4. Problems with data quality and complexity

  5. Lack of focus on decision-making
