Operationalizing Big Data

I think this is more than just about handling big, varied and volatile data from many sources.  Have seen this poorly done.   Its about having the analytics and data handling capabilities in place to 'operationalize' ,,, that is, systematically use and re-use data and methods and applications.   Also the most useful organization of the data to match it to process.  Such as semantic methods.   And implementing the results inside business process.  Ultimately automating many of these processes.   More thoughts in Datanami.
