Data Analytics: Is it Worth Outsourcing? via @InfinitDatum

Big data became more than a buzzword when industries discovered its huge potential. And with this finding, came a new science called data analytics.

The demand to understand all the data we’ve been creating and amassing has grown to a level, which not all businesses among different industries can cope with—making outsourcing a valuable option.

But, is it really worth outsourcing data analytics? More so, is data analytics even worth investing on? Read the great article from InfinitDatum to find an interesting view.

I have to say I agree with many of the points in it - however I'm not convinced on the transfer to knowledge of both the business the company operates in as well as the actual company to make the Analytics as good as they could be.  I'm moving more towards a hybrid approach that uses external resources to do a lot of the technical side of things, but still relies on internal resources to do much of the work on design and actual reporting.
