[The final form of this paper was published in the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology.] Considering that big data is a reality for an increasing number of organizations in many areas, its management represents a set of challenges involving big data modeling, storage and retrieval, analysis and visualization. However, technological resources, people and processes are crucial dimensions to facilitate the management of big data in any organization, allowing information and knowledge from a large volume of data to support decision-making. Big data management must be supported by technology, people and processes; hence, this article discusses these three dimensions: the technologies for storage, analysis and visualization of big data; the human aspects of big data; and, in addition, the process management involved in a technological and business approach for big data management.

Big data management is a reality for an increasing number of organizations in many areas and represents a set of challenges involving big data modeling, storage and retrieval, analysis and visualization. However, technological resources, people and processes are crucial to facilitate the management of big data in any kind of organization, allowing information and knowledge from a large volume of data to support decision-making. Big data management can be supported by these three dimensions: technology, people and processes. Hence, this article discusses these dimensions: the technological dimension that is related to storage, analytics and visualization of big data; the human aspects of big data; and, in addition, the process management dimension that involves in a technological and business approach the aspects of big data management.

AbstractThe innovative transformation in geospatial information technology (GIT) and Earth observation (EO) data provides a significant opportunity to study the Earth’s environment and enables an advanced understanding of natural and anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems at the local, regional, and global levels (Thapa et al. in Carbon Balance Manag 10(23):1–13, 2015; Flores et al. in SAR handbook: comprehensive methodologies for forest monitoring and biomass estimation. NASA Publication, 2019; Leibrand et al. in Front Environ Sci 7:123, 2019; Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-73569-2_1). The major advantages of these technologies can be briefly categorized into five broad areas: multidisciplinary; innovative and emerging; providing platforms for analysis, modelling, and visualization; capability to support decision-making; and impact on policies.

Big Data is an important topic for discussion and research. It has gained this importance due to the meaningful value that could be extracted from these data. The application of Big Data in the modern business allows enterprises to take faster and smarter decisions, achieving a real competitive advantage. However, a lot of Big Data projects provide disappointing results that don't address the decision-makers' needs due to many reasons. The main reason for this failure can be summarized in neglecting the study of the decision-making aspect of these projects. In light of this challenge, this study proposes the integration of decision aspect into Big Data as a solution. Therefore, this article presents three main contributions: 1) Clarify the definition of Big Data; 2) Presents BD-Da model, a conceptual model describes the levels that should be considered to develop a Big Data project aiming to solve a problem that calls a decision; 3) Describes a particular, logical, requirements-like approach that explains how a company develops a Big Data analytics project to support decision-making.

Business Intelligence (BI) has embarked on decision-making setting. This has influenced many organizations from different industries that are located in diverse regions to implement BI. Critical Successful Factors (CSF) becomes the guideline for the implementer to adopt BI successfully. However, lack of BI knowledge and weak consideration of BI CSF led to the failure of BI implementation project. Several issues and challenges have been identified during the BI implementation. In addition, other researchers rarely discussed this subject. Thus, the objective of this paper is to recognize the issues and challenges on BI implementation. Through qualitative method, BI practices systematically described the purpose of BI execution on selected organizations, industries and regions. It has given the path towards the issues and challenges of BI implementation. The identified issues and challenges are defining the business goal, data management, limited funding, training and user acceptance as well as the lack of expertise issues. The findings categorized the issues and challenges into three dimensions of CSF for BI implementation, which are Organization, Process and Technology dimension. Limitation in this study requires future researchers to study in details of these issues and challenges including the solutions and the impact of BI implementation.

INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, Big Data is created in previously unimaginable quantities. Newly generated data from various Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and their use have never reached their current dimensions. Along with this trend, the availability of devices capable of collecting this data increases, the time for their evaluation is reduced and the volume of data collected at the same time increases. The most important task of research and development in this area is to bring solutions suitable for processing large amounts of data because our current storage and processing capabilities are limited and unable to compete with the storage, processing and publication of the resulting data. OBJECTIVES: Point out the importance of implementing Big Data technology. METHODS: To achieve the goal, the following methodological approach was chosen: study and processing of foreign and domestic literature, acquaintance with similar solutions for data processing, definition of Big Data and IoT, proposal for using Big Data solution to support decision-making, risk definition and evaluation. RESULTS: With the growing amount of disparate and incoherent data and the further growth of the Internet of Things, it is now almost impossible to evaluate all available information correctly and in a timely manner. Without this knowledge, the company loses its competitive advantage and is unable to respond in a timely manner to client requests. CONCLUSION: Implementing a solution for processing Big Data to support decision-making in the company is a complex process. As part of the implementation and use of the Big Data solution to support decision-making, the company must be prepared for the emergence of various problems. We can assume that Big Data technology will constantly be evolving in terms of streamlining analytical tools for obtaining information from large volumes of generated data. Therefore, it is appropriate to create space for the implementation of Big Data technology.
