Hello world!
I’m feeling extremely delighted to unveil “DataOne – The Company and The Platform”.
Background
This is about the journey that I’ve started few months back after leaving my job and today I’m presenting it to the world as “DataOne”. For those who’re here for the first time, my previous blog post will give you some idea on what I’m talking about and you can continue reading this.
Everything Data
Few research papers on NoSQL and Big Data caught my attention during studies and I tried to understand related concepts, luckily while this was going on I got selected for Google Summer of Code in 2013 to work with Vienna University, Austria to implement NoSQL solution for their building monitoring system. I wasn’t aware that it will not only be one of the most amazing experience that I’ll brag about like this through out my life but it will also drive my career towards amazing things that I’m enjoying working with today.
Yes, “DataOne” is all about working with data. We’ve built a platform to deliver valuable business insights out of your data and we’ll be adding tonnes of new features. Let’s look at some of the interesting facts about Big Data industry.
- According to the 2015 IDG Enterprise Big Data Research study, businesses will spend an average of $7.4 million on data-related initiatives in 2016.
- According to McKinsey, a retailer using Big Data to its fullest potential could increase its operating margin by more than 60%.
- Bad data or poor quality data costs organizations as much as 10-20% of their revenue.
- A 10% increase in data accessibility by a Fortune 1000 company would give that company approximately $65 million more in annual net income.
- Big Data will drive $48.6 billion in annual spending by 2019.
- Data production will be 44 times greater in 2020 than it was in 2009. Individuals create more than 70% of the digital universe. But enterprises are responsible for storing and managing 80% of it.
- It is estimated that Walmart collects more than 2.5 petabytes of data every hour from its customer transactions. A petabyte is one quadrillion bytes, or the equivalent of about 20 million filing cabinets’ worth of text.
- By 2020 one third of all data will be stored, or will have passed through the cloud, and wewill have created 35 zetabytes worth of data.
- A 2015 report by Cap Gemini found that 56% of companies expect to increase their spending on big data in the next three years.
- There will be a shortage of talent necessary for organizations to take advantage of Big Data. By 2018, the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 skilled workers with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use Big Data analytics to make effective decisions.

Where We Stand?
The idea behind DataOne is to build a powerful platform which can not only provide analytics and shiny dashboards but actual value to the businesses. It’s very important for us to understand businesses and how we can increase their revenues by even a small number such as 1%. To tackle this challenge, we’ve started working with organizations by consulting them on how they can leverage benefit out of their data, serve their customers better and increase their revenues. Does this sound interesting to you? Let’s have a meeting and see if we can do the same for you.
