Individual departments inside organisations with big data strategies are running rogue projects without consulting the IT group, new research has found.
More than one-third (36 per cent) of business units are not consulting or only partially consulting the IT department on their big data projects, according to a study conducted by Pure Profile on behalf of Rackspace.
Just over one-fifth (22 per cent) of the 500 survey respondents said that individual divisions with their companies had taken on their own big data initiatives.
Angus Dorney, general manager at Rackspace, said some Australian companies are saying one thing and doing another when it comes to owning and implementing big data projects.
