The continuous collection of information from user interactions has introduced businesses to a great opportunity. The current trend of connecting both the people and the machines to the internet and obtaining data from these machines has resulted in an unimaginable repository of data for businesses (Henry & Venkatraman, 2015). The increasing collection of information, commonly referred to as big data can only be insightful when analyzed to provide insights on business challenges and make suggestions on when and where the future challenges might occur to integrate mitigation measures. The significant importance of business analytics is underlined by its ability to inform businesses of probable challenges and instigate mitigation measures as a prevention mechanism (Henry & Venkatraman, 2015). However, this highlights that the ever-increasing data collection by businesses will only be useful when analyzed to provide vital insights.
