Big data is not an isolated solution. Implementing a big data solution requires that the technical infrastructure (h/w, s/w, network) be in place to support the scaling, distribution, and management of that data. It is important to put both a business and technology strategy in place to make use of this important technology trend.

Give an example of, and explain what might occur if the business strategy and technical infrastructure strategies are not aligned.

Use an example, either from research or, if you can, from your own experience?
