3V's of Big Data

Businesses are generating massive amounts of data through its various data points and business process. Small companies can collect all the generated data into tools like excel sheets, accessing databases, and other devices. But in the case of huge businesses, the data which they generate cannot fit into such tools which cause human error instance to be increased drastically due to manual processing.



3V's of Big Data.


 1.     Volume
       The name Big Data itself has to do with a vast size. Data size plays a significant role in assessing meaning from the data. (Guru99.com, 2020)
For Ex: Facebook has 2.37 billion users, Youtube has 2 billion users, Instagram has 1 billion users, and Twitter has 126 million users. All users of these social media share trillions of posts, images, videos, tweets, etc. Just think about the volume of data generated every single minute. (Big Data Framework, 2019)



2.   Variety
        In earlier days, spreadsheets and repositories were the only data sources that most of the programs noticed. For analytics systems, data in the form of emails, images, photographs, monitoring devices, PDFs, audio, etc. are also being considered. (Guru99.com, 2020)
For Ex: High-variety data sets would be the audio and video files generated by CCTV at different locations in the city. (Big Data Framework, 2019)



3.  Velocity
        Big Data Velocity describes how quickly data travels from channels such as business processes, code reports, networks, social media sites, sensors, mobile devices, etc. Data flow is enormous and continuous. (Guru99.com, 2020)
For Ex: Twitter messages or Facebook posts would be data generated at high velocity. (Big Data Framework, 2019)

Value of Big Data in Marketing

Big data gives us eyes and ears on our marketing activities. It captures insights into our prospects and customers at a level of detail that has never been possible before. At the moment, we can respond to audience actions in real-time and drive customer behaviour. Big data is changing marketing and sales in areas that only a few years ago seemed unachievable. Types of Big Data for Marketers 1. Customer Data Data from consumers allow advertisers to consider their target audience. This type of apparent data is facts such as names, email addresses, purchase history, and web searches. Just as important are indications of the attitudes of your audience, which can be gathered from social media activity, surveys, and online communities. (Pearlman, 2019) 2. Financial Data Financial information allows us to assess and improve performance. The numbers, expenditures, and earnings of your company on sales and marketing fall into this category. Pricing can

Introduction to Big Data

Big data is more extensive, more complex data sets, especially from new data sources. These data sets are so voluminous that traditional data processing software just can't manage them. But these massive volumes of data can be used to address business problems you wouldn't have been able to tackle before.  (Oracle.com, 2014) Types of Big Data 1. Structured Data Any data that can be stored, accessed, and processed in a fixed format is called structured data. 2. Unstructured Data Any data with a form or structure unknown is labelled as unstructured data. A typical example of unstructured data is a heterogeneous source of data that contains a combination of simple text files, images, videos, etc. 3.  Semi-Structured data Semi-structured data may contain data in both types. We can see semi-structured data as structured in form, b ut it is not defined explicitly in relational DBMS with, e.g., a table description. Semi-structured data, for e
