The data and analytics landscape is changing. Although many organizations are still analyzing structured data from their data warehouse, TDWI research indicates organizations have increasing interest in analyzing disparate kinds of data. This data is often large in volume and can require modernizing data infrastructures and platforms. The industry around big data and data science and the emerging role of the data scientist is one result of this evolution/revolution.
