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)

Benefits and Challenges of Using Customer Data for Marketing

All personal, behavioural, and population data that the marketing companies and departments collect from their customised databases refer to customer data or consumer data. (Wikipedia Contributors, 2020) Types of Customer Data 1. Identity Data The first type of customer data analysis looks at the heart of database marketing, the most essential information to identify a person. It gathers the name, gender, age, telephone number, email address, occupation, social media handles, and account information of a customer. (Connext Digital, 2019) 2. Descriptive Data Your understanding is beyond the names, age, and email addresses of your customers. To get the right feeling of your customers, you must dig deeper. Here descriptive data comes into play. The goal is to collect quantifiable data on your customers so that their actions, seasonal increases, and buying practices can be accurately predicted. For maximum effect, your predictive analysis can be aligned with y...
