Role of Big Data Sources in BI Systems
Big data is a term that has emerged in the last several years. The most significant implication of big data for business intelligence is that now we need to think about the data feeding our BI systems as coming from potentially anywhere. In the past, the data we used was mostly generated internally and mostly in a very structured format. Now, data may come from anywhere and be in any format. Specialized tools like Hadoop have been developed to help us extract big data for inclusion in our data warehouse. Think about a business that you are familiar with. What types of external big data sources would you want to include in your data warehouse to support BI? Where will you get this data? What format will it be in?
