Read moreIn the previous post on our Big Data Blog, we discussed the business reasons behind the failures of Big Data projects. We've listed five major mistakes that you should avoid in order to make sure that the complicated project of implementing Big Data tools and solutions turns out to be a success story. If you want to read about business issues that may arise during the implementation of the project, go to the post "Why do Big Data Project fail: Business Issues". In today's post, we will look at the technological challenges that await the Teams involved in Big Data projects.
Recall that over 80% of Big Data projects are not implemented and end in failure. What's worse, even those that are implemented rarely bring the expected benefits (only 20% of them meet the expectations of stakeholders). Admittedly, it can discourage attempts to implement Big Data solutions. However, this is not a good decision - in the new reality in which we operate, the amount of generated data will only increase.
Fear of making mistakes cannot stop the development that often depends on the existence on the market because of the inability to properly analyze and manage them is a critical error that may affect the functioning of the enterprise.
You can read about why it is worth making bold decisions related to Big data projects in the post of our CEO, Adam Kawa:** The benefits of the Swedish approach to Big Data.**
Many of the problems encountered during implementation are of a business nature, as we wrote in the previous post, but the challenges faced by the initiators and beneficiaries of projects may be of a different nature. It should be remembered that Big Data solutions belong to complex IT projects, often requiring not only excellent specialists but also a refined technological process that will ensure success. The technological side of Big Data products can also cause significant problems and they can sink a project before it can be put into practice.
Below, we will try to present frequent mistakes that the technology team can make and which may affect the project. These are guidelines on what to pay attention to when discussing, planning, and then implementing each Big Data project that is to be successful.
So how to avoid technological problems related to Big Data projects? Let's start with the obvious - you should find a good supplier to work with! It is good to check whether the providers of Big Data solutions have previously worked on projects similar to the one we want to implement, it is also worth reviewing the Case Studies and White Papers they present. Thanks to this, we will be able to make sure that they are specialists in the technologies in which they work. After selecting the partner specialised in Big Data solutions we need, make sure that both parties know what the project aims to achieve. Thanks to this, it will be possible to determine the technological stack that will be used during the construction of the project.
Secondly, make sure that our own team has the technological competence to cooperate and then handle the project. If there are none, it should either be extended or trained prior to implementation so that technology-related problems do not get in the way of the goal. It is a good idea to arrange a relationship between our team and the supplier's team to make sure they are compatible. It is also crucial to have constant support from business stakeholders, it might be even worth to get them involved in the project Team.
At the same time, you should take care of a holistic view of the project and flexibility of solutions. Identify problems in real time and implement new solutions as needed. Thanks to this, the work will run more efficiently.
Is there one foolproof way to be successful in implementing a Big Data project? I do not think so. Certainly, however, by avoiding the mistakes that are described in this post and those mentioned in "Why do Big Data Project fail: Business Issues", it will give us more possibilities and will allow us to anticipate impending problems. Without a doubt, however, the most important issue is communication. It is thanks to the mutual understanding of the possibilities and expectations that we will achieve success.
