    Ever wondered how much you really know? It's time to put your brain to the test!

    Industry-specific Big Data Challenges

    The healthcare sector has access to huge amounts of data but has been troubled by failures in utilizing the data to curb the cost of rising healthcare and by inefficient systems that suppress faster and better healthcare benefits across the board.

    This is mainly because electronic data is unavailable, inadequate, or unusable. Additionally, the healthcare databases that hold health-related information have made it difficult to link data that can show patterns useful in the medical field.

    Big Data Uses in Healthcare sector

    Other challenges related to Big Data include the exclusion of patients from the decision-making process and the use of data from different readily available sensors.

    Applications of Big Data in the Healthcare Sector

    Some hospitals, like Beth Israel, are using data collected from a cell phone app, from millions of patients, to allow doctors to use evidence-based medicine as opposed to administering several medical/lab tests to all patients who go to the hospital. A battery of tests can be efficient, but it can also be expensive and usually ineffective.

    Free public health data and Google Maps have been used by the University of Florida to create visual data that allows for faster identification and efficient analysis of healthcare information, used in tracking the spread of chronic disease. Obamacare has also utilized Big Data in a variety of ways. Big Data Providers in this industry include Recombinant Data, Humedica, Explorys, and Cerner.

    Industry-specific Big Data Challenges

    From a technical point of view, a significant challenge in the education industry is to incorporate Big Data from different sources and vendors and to utilize it on platforms that were not designed for the varying data.

    From a practical point of view, staff and institutions have to learn new data management and analysis tools.

    On the technical side, there are challenges to integrating data from different sources on different platforms and from different vendors that were not designed to work with one another.

    Applications of Big Data in Education

    Big data is used quite significantly in higher education. For example, The University of Tasmania. An Australian university with over 26000 students has deployed a Learning and Management System that tracks, among other things, when a student logs onto the system, how much time is spent on different pages in the system, as well as the overall progress of a student over time.

    In a different use case of the use of Big Data in education, it is also used to measure teacher’s effectiveness to ensure a pleasant experience for both students and teachers. Teacher’s performance can be fine-tuned and measured against student numbers, subject matter, student demographics, student aspirations, behavioral classification, and several other variables.

    On a governmental level, the Office of Educational Technology in the U. S. Department of Education is using Big Data to develop analytics to help correct course students who are going astray while using online Big Data certification courses.

    Big Data Providers in this industry include Knewton and Carnegie Learning and MyFit/Naviance.

    Big data has been used in the industry to provide customer insights for transparent and simpler products, by analyzing and predicting customer behavior through data derived from social media, GPS-enabled devices, and CCTV footage. The Big Data also allows for better customer retention from insurance companies.

    When it comes to claims management, predictive analytics from Big Data has been used to offer faster service since massive amounts of data can be analyzed mainly in the underwriting stage. Fraud detection has also been enhanced.

    Through massive data from digital channels and social media, real-time monitoring of claims throughout the claims cycle has been used to provide insights.

    Big Data Providers in this industry include Sprint, Qualcomm, Octo Telematics, The Climate Corp.

    8. Retail and Wholesale trade

    Industry-specific Big Data Challenges

    From traditional brick and mortar retailers and wholesalers to current day e-commerce traders, the industry has gathered a lot of data over time. This data, derived from customer loyalty cards, POS scanners, RFID, etc. are not being used enough to improve customer experiences on the whole. Any changes and improvements made have been quite slow.

    Applications of Big Data in the Retail and Wholesale Industry

    Big data from customer loyalty data, POS, store inventory, local demographics data continues to be gathered by retail and wholesale stores.

    In New York’s Big Show retail trade conference in 2014, companies like Microsoft, Cisco, and IBM pitched the need for the retail industry to utilize Big Data for analytics and other uses, including:

    • Optimized staffing through data from shopping patterns, local events, and so on
    • Reduced fraud
    • Timely analysis of inventory

    Social media use also has a lot of potential use and continues to be slowly but surely adopted, especially by brick and mortar stores. Social media is used for customer prospecting, customer retention, promotion of products, and more.

    Big Data Providers in this industry include First Retail, First Insight, Fujitsu, Infor, Epicor, and Vistex.

    Industry-specific Big Data Challenges

    In recent times, huge amounts of data from location-based social networks and high-speed data from telecoms have affected travel behavior. Regrettably, research to understand travel behavior has not progressed as quickly.

    In most places, transport demand models are still based on poorly understood new social media structures.

    10. Energy and Utilities

    Industry-specific Big Data Challenges

    The image below shows some of the main challenges in the energy and utility industry.

    Applications of Big Data in the Energy and Utility Industry

    Smart meter readers allow data to be collected almost every 15 minutes as opposed to once a day with the old meter readers. This granular data is being used to analyze the consumption of utilities better, which allows for improved customer feedback and better control of utilities use.

    In utility companies, the use of Big Data also allows for better asset and workforce management, which is useful for recognizing errors and correcting them as soon as possible before complete failure is experienced.

    Big Data Providers in this industry include Alstom Siemens ABB and Cloudera.
