Big Data is on the top of the radar for many businesses, and there are plenty of tools being sold to help collect and analyze massive amounts of data. \u00a0But also topping the list of challenges for these businesses is\u00a0a lack of the right\u00a0skillsets\u00a0for being able to correctly analyze and interpret the data. \u00a0A survey by PwC and Iron Mountain<\/a>\u00a0found that three-quarters of businesses say their Big Data efforts are failing because they lack right people with the right skills.<\/p>\n

Richard Petley<\/a>, director of PwC Risk and Assurance, said that<\/a> “data is the lifeblood of the digital economy, it can give insight, inform decisions and deepen relationships. \u00a0It can be bought, sold, shared and even stolen — all things that suggest that data has value. Yet when we conducted our research very few organizations can attribute a value and, more concerning, many do not yet have the capabilities we would expect to manage, protect and extract that value.”<\/p>\n

Part of the problem is the complexity of the tools that are available. \u00a0Going from zero to ready with a tool like Hadoop, for example, can present a significant learning curve that needs to be overcome, and many companies are finding that they just can’t do it.<\/p>\n
