What is data?
Data is the foundation of most modern business transformation programs. Through data, organizations gain valuable insights that can be applied to drive improved outcomes. There are various types of data that organizations collect, which generally fall into two main groups: qualitative and quantitative.
More specifically, big data is used to achieve digital transformation across industries, ranging from healthcare to supply chain. Businesses use big data analytics tools to gain deeper insights into customer behavior and boost how well they operate.
The main types of big data include transactional data (like sales records), machine data (from sensors and IoT devices), social data (from social media) and text data (from emails and documents).
