Big Data Business Requirements
For Business Intelligence, Analytics and Decision Making

Business data is growing exponentially in volume,
velocity and variety! Customer requirements,
competition and innovation are driving rapid changes
in business requirements and supporting business
processes.

Decision makers, at all levels of an organization,
require accurate, current, cohesive business
information to glean actionable business intelligence,
analytics and insights to make effective tactical and
strategic decisions.

Big data is no longer nice to have - its essential to
agility and competitiveness. Simply stated
organizations that execute on big data and act on the
resulting business intelligence thrive.

Most organizations recognize the value of big data.
Unfortunately, many organizations are not yet
realizing the full potential. The problem, however, is
not with the enabling technologies the technologies
are stable and well understood. The problem lives with
the business requirements.

Business requirements analysis for big data is very
different than business requirements analysis for
transactional systems and requires business
analysts with a unique, business-oriented (non-
technical) set of business analysis skills, techniques
and methods.

Inteqs Big Data Business Requirements training
provides the critical thinking skills, conceptual
knowledge and best practice techniques to rapidly
discover, thoroughly analyze and accurately specify
big data business requirements - requirements that
enable stakeholders across the organization to glean
valuable insights and make intelligent decisions.

Inteq's Big Data Business Requirements training is
about business requirements from a business (non-
technical) perspective - and is seamlessly integrated
and cohesively organized around Inteq's
MoDA/Framework - the blueprint for delivering
speed, accuracy, depth and consistency in business
and systems analysis.

emerged as the gold standard for professional
business analysis training - and is simply the most
effective business analysis training course available in
the industry.
