Big Data technologies Adoption to grow in 2015 - Qlik

The adoption of Big Data technologies in India is likely to grow in 2015, according to Qlik. A survey conducted by Qlik among 350 executives based in Mumbai and New Delhi found that while only 21% of respondents say they have implemented Big Data technologies, 42% said they plan to invest in Big Data technologies in the next 12 months.

“Despite the relatively low implementation of Big Data technologies in India today – a trend that is mirrored across most other markets in Asia Pacific, we’ve found that more and more companies plan to invest in Big Data in the near future. India, being a high growth economy, is in a strategic position to leapfrog over other countries in helping companies to adopt technologies that turn raw data into insights,” said Phillip Beniac, Regional Vice President, Qlik Asia Pacific and Japan.

 According to the survey respondents, the biggest Big Data challenge that they face is accessing and analyzing large volumes of data to discover new insights, followed by managing the growing variety of data.
