Big Data deals with complex data from disparate sources. Without proper data governance, the integration of this data is very difficult to do correctly. Big Data Governance: An Emerging Imperative gives you the information and insights necessary to develop the data governance program needed to support your Big Data integration projects. Well done, Sunil.
This is a BIG book by an information governance professional who is committed to educating his audience on complex matters, in a very practical and easily digestible manner.
As a seasoned IT professional who is part of a large corporation, I feel overwhelmed when confronted with the data dilemma. There are more questions than answers facing us data practitioners. My organization is a leading telco in South Africa, and we have data streaming into our organization in the form of call detail records, location data, and data generated by social media—all of which needs to be managed, for intelligent use.
This well-crafted book demystifies the landscape relating to BIG DATA and empowers us with the necessary intellectual property to tackle the challenges facing us in the big data space.
There is a wealth of information crammed between the covers of this book. Now that I have had the opportunity to synthesize the ideas and learnings described in the book, I feel more confident about tackling the Big Data challenges in my organization, with gusto and determination.
We will all be successful, thanks to the guidance offered by Sunil, in this book!
