Abstract
With the unprecedented increase in data sources, the question of how to collect them efficiently, effectively, and elegantly, store them securely and safely, leverage those stocked, polished, and maintained data in a smarter manner so that industry experts can plan ahead, take informed decisions, and execute them in a knowledgeable fashion remains. This chapter clarifies several pertinent questions and related issues with the unprecedented increase in data sources.
