Most papers have the focus to a greater or lesser extent, on the topic of Big Data. On this subject there remains conflicting opinions from the staff who argues that is an area that is still immature, especially the issue of scalability, even one who predicts that sooner or later most organizations end up adopting this paradigm / technology. In our opinion, it is too early for widespread adoption, both costs (hardware and highly specialized human equipment) and the immaturity and dispersion of the underlying technologies.
