The sexiest job of the 21st Century
Digital Architect
Everyone knows we’re living a century where ‘Data is the new Oil’ :
Regular Data have turned into “Big Data” waiting to be explored : Big Data are…
o Live Data (Velocity)
o Contextual Data (Volume)
o User-Generated Data (Variability)
Analytics are the process of examining large amounts of data varying in types :
Social media activity reports Banking Account transactions Web server logs Internet clickstream
Data Cellphone calls details GPS Coordinates & Navigation Mobile Apps activity Logs
e-commerce activities reports Search queries and (many) basically any other type of data…
A Data Architect is an expert or a consultant who excels at analyzing data
“Data scientist is the sexiest
job of the 21st Century!”
