In the era of big data, data has become an important factor of production, penetrating all walks of life. Data has become more and more important to enterprises, and has gradually become part of their core competitiveness. Enterprises are not only concerned about the data itself, but also pay more attention to the value of the data, and the impact of the data on the enterprise.

The lack of big data-related talent will be an important factor affecting the development of the big data market. Gartner predicts that by 2015, there will be 4.4 million new big data-related jobs worldwide, and 25% of organizations will have a chief data officer position. Big data-related positions require a combination of people with a comprehensive knowledge of math, statistics, data analytics, machine learning, and natural language processing. In the future, there will be a talent gap of about 1 million people in big data, which needs to be cultivated and tapped by the society, colleges and universities, and enterprises*** with the same efforts.
