Really nice historical context setting, the final note around perspective for whether you have the need for a “Big Data” platform would be really relevant for a lot of companies!
How would you answer that? Big Data is a capability not a use case. That would be like “Please tell us if a band saw is really relevant for our wood working shop.” Well, that depends on you… not the band saw. Some shops might need one because the build a lot of furniture, others maybe because every 2 years a very huge desk needs to be sawed which makes a lot of money. Others want it just because its shiny. So: Learn the properties of the tool and do a critical analysis for your context…. Looking for rule of thumbs is usually the path onto someone else’s dinner plate.
