COVERSTORY

ig Data is being perceived as the next big thing in the Indian IT market after the growth of cloud services. The opportunity prospect it opens up is huge and projects a sustainable market ahead. According to a joint study by NASSCOM and CRISIL Global Research & Analytics, by 2015 Big Data is expected to become a USD 25 billion industry. The report estimates that the Indian Big Data industry will grow from USD 200 million in 2012 to USD 1 billion in 2015 at a CAGR in excess of 83 percent. The market in India is still at nascent stage but the market opening for the Indian IT service providers to offer Big Data implementation and analytics outsourcing services is huge. Big Data refers to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of typical database software to capture, store, manage and analyse. Currently, it can range from a few dozen terabytes to multiple petabytes, according to a recent report by McKinsey and Co. This includes IT services such as Big Data technology implementation, including data collection, integration and

designing of Big Data architecture. Different fields like scientific studies or even the social networking sites are churning out huge amounts of data. This data needs to be stored effectively and should be accessible instantly when required. These complex data are used to make big decisions in an organization. Big Data relates to this rapidly growing datasets with sizes beyond the ability of conventional database tools to store, manage, and analyse them. This is creating a huge opportunity for the Big Data industry globally. By 2015, Big Data is expected to become a US$25 billion industry, growing at a CAGR of 45 per cent, driven by uses across industries such as manufacturing, retail, financial services, telecom, and healthcare. While IT services and analytics firms in North America currently dominate the global market with their Big Data solutions, companies in emerging markets like India and China are expected to catch up soon with the region becoming a hub for high-end data solutions. The Indian Big Data industry is expected to grow from US$200 million in

2012 to US$1 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of 83 per cent. As for the Indian market, the big data market sounds promising for IT services and analytics firms which is expected to grow to $ 1 billion in 2015. There is no doubt that the market will see a major boost in the future as the market is witnessing exponential growth in big data in all the major fields. While the market has been sluggish for the past two years due to the economic slowdown, the market potential is going to be huge and will open up the growth opportunities across the services and verticals. According to Nasscom report, one of the key verticals for Big Data is the BPO industry where huge amounts of data is stored and which is further used to make crucial decisions for the consumers or clients providing a major impetus for the business growth. With Indian BPO industry maintaining over 37 per cent of total global sourcing BPO revenues, the amount of data being processed is huge. Besides, Nasscom also unveiled its Top

COVERSTORY 15 BPO exporters in India for the year 2011-12. Genpact, which topped the list, was followed by Tata Consultancy Services BPO, Aegis, Wipro BPO and Firstsource Solutions. Aditya Birla Minacs Worldwide, WNS Global Services, Infosys BPO and Serco Global Services also ranked in the top 10.The list did not include companies whose corporate headquarters are located outside India, but have significant Indiabased delivery capabilities, and have not shared their India-based revenue figures. These companies include names like Convergys, IBM Daksh and Sutherland Global Services. Big Data ecosystem has evolved over 2012-2013 through sustained investments to strengthen existing technologies and building strong talent pool. Big Data has three important factors that include increasing volume (amount of data), velocity (speed of data in and out), and variety (range of data types and sources). Gartner, and now much of the industry, continue to use this "3Vs" model for describing big data. Big Data broadly involves three steps—storing data with master data management solutions and frameworks like Apache Hadoop (an opensource software framework for storage and large-scale processing of data-sets on clusters of commodity hardware) and Google Inc.’s BigQuery. Next comes processing the data with tools like customer relationship management, business intelligence and statistical tools, and finally companies have to use, or apply, the insights culled from the data in their respective sectors. With growing importance of creating IP and frameworks, Indian IT service providers have also realized the need for a strong Big Data portfolio. The companies are investing on developing strong Big Data platform. Infosys had developed a Big Data platform called BigDataEdge which enables the access of data across both internal systems and external sources. The platform comprises of a a rich visual interface with more than 50 customizable dashboards and 250 built-in algorithms. These algorithms, a set of reusable business rules both function and industry-specific, enable business teams to self-serve the process of building insights while minimizing the need for technical intervention. It also has over 50 data source connectors, which allow easy access to structured and unstructured data residing across enterprise and

Banks can provide efficient personalized product services to their customers by analysing all the data they have, such as credit card usage, ATM usage and online and mobile banking usage. external sources. This enables acceleration of discovery of relevant information from existing underutilized data. The Big Data platform also includes out-of-the-box applications for specific industry needs such as fraud detection and prevention, predictive analytics and monitoring, and customer micro-segmentation that deliver faster returns on investment. Wipro has developed a Big Data adoption framework, 3B framework. The platform and has identified several system integration patterns for Big Data adoption to enable faster processing of data, reduction in development time and cost of processing. Wipro has also taken a more strategic approach by taking a minority position in Opera Solutions, LLC, a leading global Big Data science company. This strategic partnership will enable Wipro to create industry-specific Big Data analytics solutions like 720 degree customer analytics solution by combining Wipro’s domain and technology expertise with Opera Solutions’ machine learning expertise, pre-discovered predictive signals and algorithms. Another Indian firm, HCL Technologies, is following a two-prong strategy for Big

Data. HCL has a two-prong strategy for Big Data: Technology Up and Consulting Down. Theyhave Centers of Excellence (CoE) as per different streams of Big Data: Programming Languages, Application Data Stores, Data Computing Appliance with OLAP, Pan-Enterprise Search and Data Science. These CoEs help us create the capability, capacity and proof of concept as per customer Big Data use. Today, the marketing strategy are developed using a combination of in-house and third-party technologies to develop a more holistic and consolidated view of customers. Based on this data, the organizations offer more personalized experiences to customers. Tata Motors Ltd and two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp Ltd, have been sifting through large pools of data that they collect during customer interactions to accelerate decision-making, improve efficiency and sell more vehicles. Most of the retail websites use this data to make business decisions. Banks can provide efficient personalized product services to their customers by analysing all the data they have, such as credit card usage in the country and abroad, ATM usage and online and mobile banking transactions. A 27 June report by software lobby body Nasscom and Blueocean Market Intelligence pegged the Indian analytics market to cross the $2 billion mark by fiscal 2018. There is no doubt that the market is yet to develop into a strong hold as only big companies are using this data to develop marketing strategies and customer services. The market potential, meanwhile, is huge for vendors of Big Data analytics services. Big Data represents an unprecedented opportunity for business value creation but many enterprises do not have the right business justification, technology and the data science capabilities to access its power. The biggest challenge for any of the Big Data companies is to crucially understand what data to collect and how to integrate it. When such information is collected and analyzed, the data will be a huge advantage to the companies in making crucially important business decisions. For the Big Data vendors, the biggest factor is getting a skilled staff to implement the platform. So with skilled data scientists and the business creation, Big Data Analytics will be a strong venue for the Indian IT market in the future.
