1) data acquisition
The acquisition of a large number of data basically belongs to large enterprises such as Sina Weibo, and the acquisition of a large number of transaction data also basically belongs to enterprises such as JD.COM and Taobao. Small businesses basically have no chance to obtain these user data independently.
2) Data collection
For example, it is a great opportunity to collect data from major manufacturers, major Weibo and various government departments.
However, if this work is enlarged, it needs the government's actions and the cooperation between enterprises. If the scale is small, it may be an alliance or a non-governmental organization.
3) data storage
After collecting data, the immediate problem is storage, which is extremely expensive. The original data cannot be deleted and needs to be kept. Therefore, companies that provide storage equipment and companies that perform storage roles have huge market opportunities, but this does not belong to small companies or early entrepreneurs.
4) Data manipulation
After storing the data, how to distribute the data is a big problem. Various APIs and open platforms transmit data to provide follow-up mining and analysis, which also require large capital investment and are not suitable for small companies.
5) Data mining and analysis
Data needs to provide value-added services, otherwise the data will have no value, and the size is not much better, it is a worthless size. So this kind of data analysis and mining work is very valuable, and this opportunity belongs to small companies and small groups.
6) Use and consumption of data
After the data is well mined and analyzed, it is necessary to apply these results to specific occasions to get returns. Companies that do data mining and analysis must find these financial owners, and these financial owners are definitely not small companies.
The future form of big data, or the industrial chain structure, must be layered and huge, and the embodiment of value occurs at all levels. Each level is an important part of the ecological chain, which is pregnant with great opportunities and challenges. What you can do is to work hard and do the right job.
