· How Big Data management helps in IT Process management?
Big data management helps in finding out required information for the organization. Big Data goes beyond traditional and relational databases. There are different technologies suited to process and store non-transactional data. For Big Data traditional and relational databases and non-transactional data need to be combined. In the process the decision must be done about what data can be kept and analyzed in order to improve current business processes or provide organizations with the competitive advantage. Managing different types of data is Big Data management. IT keeps the record of all the process and IT assets required by the organization. Define and discuss technology stack.
· How structured and unstructured data can be merged for decision making?

Social media is changing organization around the globe. The introduction of new technology and the evolution of existing technology have enabled efficient and broader communication. Social media has sparked thinking and behavior of people on a massive scale. Today consumers thinking have shifted towards their trusted network guidance rather than simple accepting what brands tell them.
