Complex value chains should be addressed
Bring value to all companies in the value chain

4. European Data Forum 2014
Major roadblocks perceived
European ICT suppliers do not play a significant role among the 60
most profitable global Big Data vendors
European companies considered 1-2 years behind US companies
Only 30 % of larger companies in Europe consider themselves as
ahead of competition
Main challenges for successfully creating value of Big Data as seen by
companies:
 Privacy and Security
 Budget and priorities
 Technical challenges in Big Data management and analytics
 Expertise
 Lack of knowledge about Big Data managment and
analytics
 Lack of convincing use cases
