Growing toward data and analytics maturity
When organizations can provide context and meaning to their internal and external data, they can put data in place for data-informed decision-making.
With 1.7 megabytes per second per person, our data mountain is growing (Chapter 1, The Beginning – The Flow of Data). According to research (statista.com), the world will generate more than 180 zettabytes of digital data by 2025. We have added a table so that you are able to understand the data growth from kilobyte to yottabyte:
