Hadoop popularity within the enterprise is skyrocketing. The number of Hadoop clusters in production has reportedly risen 60 percent in the past two years as it becomes a fixture in warehouses and other data ecosystems.
To help organizations easily determine if they are ready to implement Hadoop, data research and education firm TDWI has released a new readiness assessment tool. In a Dec 8 blog post, TDWI explained that the tool uses five distinct dimensions to determine the readiness score:
- Organizational readiness- does the organization’s upper management demonstrate commitment to Hadoop? Are there data governance programs in place? Have use cases for Hadoop been identified and agreed upon?
- Big data readiness- assesses previous experience with enterprise data management solutions.
- Data management readiness- does the organization have a well-established data management team and infrastructure in place? What skills and experience does that team have?
- Analytics readiness- assesses prior team experience with analytics.
- IT readiness- does the organization have an IT or BI team ready to deploy Hadoop? Does it have the skills needed to own and maintain it?
The tool is available here.
