Growing amount of data
“From the beginning of human until the mid of the 2000s,
People produced information about five Exabyte’s.
Today, 2.5 Exabyte’s are produced – per day!”
(Eric Schmitt, ex-CEO of Google, quoted in Smolan & Erwitt, 2012)

C Quo Vadis Big Data?
New challenges and opportunities
 Decisions based on data, analyzed in real-time
 Increase profit, performance, reputation
 Also important for government and research
But: It is neither a new Kondratieff nor a revolution of Business.
“Big Data” is not a new era of business
administration, but it provides ways of
managing data with the goal to identify new
patterns explaining both: our life as well as
natural conditions!
