YES. I KNOW. IT'S A SMALL PICTURE FOR BIG DATA . If you'll click on it, you'll see the Enterprise-Quality Version . " Big Data " is a pop-culture office tech-speak term which refers to any aspect of business which involves handling: 1 ) a large physical quantity of data input and storage (requiring a great deal of capacity); 2 ) data derived from a variety of collection or reporting mechanisms which must be translated, sorted, indexed, selectively bundled and rendered navigable; 3 ) data which must be "mined" or processed in some way such that it can yield information which is most useful to the business or other organization; Most significantly, is that the notion of aggregating and using increasing amounts of data from increasing sources will accelerate the conversion of a vast number of small- to medium-sized businesses to abandon their overworked systems and outdated software and analytic tools, and instead, link up to the cloud , where stora...

I am getting increasingly sick of acronyms , and believe that most of them are created as repackaging and selling tools more than as a means of pneumonic memorization or useful shorthand. BAO, which stands for " Business Analytics And Observation " is being touted as a phenomenon unto itself by the likes of IBM and other giant firms who cater to the larger-sized businesses , or consulting firms who seek a Fortune 500 caliber clientele, who are flush with budget funds for expenditures which may not be immediately tied (via cause and effect) to results.

This is also going to influence your budget, your critical path planning and monitoring processes and the nature of the professional staff (especially in terms of their technological skill sets, problem-solving abilities, and native intelligence) whom you'll need to either contract or hire. This new environment is forcing senior management, information officers and financial officers in the increasingly frenetic C-Suite to communicate more frequently and openly than ever before. Several IT Whitepapers follow for your information. In order to acc...

NOTE : I HUNTED FOR STOCK GRAPHICS ABOUT PARTNERSHIP, BUT ALL OF THEM SEEMED TO MISS THE TRUE MEANING AND SPIRIT OF PARTNERSHIP. [click the pic to enlarge] That's why we've titled the article " The Art Of Successful Partnering - Teamwork For More Profitable Businesses and for More Successful Projects ." And our most choice selection of keywords, search terms, categories, tags and labels, relating to this content would include the ones which follow -- but you shouldn't go Googling them until after you've read this post in its entirety . To do so would disrupt your concentration and would be considered "bad form." Nobody enjoys, appreciates or admires "bad form." Here goes: Articles of Partnership , Business and Economy, Entrepreneur, Small business , Venture capital , Kickstarter , Crowdfunding Incubator , CFI , Douglas E. Castle, teamwork, team-building , leadership, industrial psychology , management, strategic joint ventures, The Inter...
