The computer systems of today have shown a remarkable evolution from their earlier applications of running simple programs for mathematical computation.
Over the course of a few decades, innovations in software technology have made possible the prediction of certain events based on analysis derived from a vast data repository.
This enormous amount of data is described by a term called ‘big data’, and it has now become a core element in almost every business decision.

In this regard, big data has not only enabled the bank to deliver a superior customer experience, but it has also helped them to take steps towards bringing in new business opportunities.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing is an exhaustive process which consists of many sub-processes, each of which requires extensive planning and supervision.
As it involves data organisation at every stage, big data has come up as a useful tool for refining the quality of products while also systemising the detection…
