Just as Data Scientists are engaged in gathering, cleaning, processing, and analyzing data to uncover meaningful insights and patterns, Big Data Analysts are responsible for understanding those insights and identifying ways to transform them into actionable business strategies. Data Analysts uncover hidden patterns, customer preferences, and market trends. The goal of a Big Data Analyst is to help organizations make better, more informed decisions.
Big Data is larger and involves even more complex data sets, especially from new data sources. These data sets are so voluminous that traditional data processing software can’t manage them. However these volumes of data can be used to address complex business problems, ascertain trends as they are emerging and assisting in decision making. All of this couldn’t have been tackled earlier and this makes Big Data Specialists and Big Data analysis critical in today’s competitive business environment.
