Big data is revolutionizing intelligence, but the data analytics that drive intelligent solutions are no longer just an IT back-office support service – they are a mission function.

MeriTalk surveyed 150 Federal IT executives familiar with their agencies’ big data strategies to understand the challenges they face when adopting and implementing big data solutions, and opportunities to win.

Ninety-two percent of Fed IT managers say their agency has integrated big data into mission-critical tasks to some extent. And they are already reaping the benefits – agencies estimate increased big data adoption will save significant money, time, and resources. But less than half of respondents view big data as a mission function.
