Caveats
Given the nascent state of the Big Data and it’s application, opinions vary as to the
size and shape of the market in the UK.
Without knowing who the key Finnish suppliers are, we have only been able to give
a broad view across each market sector.
Once these companies have been identified we can focus on their specific
expertise and make further recommendations as part of a future, more focused
report.
We have provided a range of estimates cited from the worlds leading consulting
and research firms that detail economic effects where available.
Equally when looking at individual companies it is difficult to distinguish between
prospective clients, competition and partners. Accordingly we have broadly
identified major players in each industry that will be effected by these changes.

The Big Data & The Industrial Internet
Big Data is the science of analysing, interpreting and reporting on
vast sets of data from a variety of sources. The interpretation of
these data is dependent on the analysis of four core
characteristics these are velocity, volume, variety and veracity.
The Industrial internet will produce vast is typically defined as the
addition of software and sensors to formerly discreet passive
objects and connecting them to the Internet. This will generate
unprecedented quantities of data.
As a consequence the predicted explosion of the IIoT will drive
increased demand in the market for services that can deliver
visualization, analysis and application of Big Data

Big Data Scenario Analysis
IIoT takes several years
to take off
Some companies adopt customised
solutions and measure key variables
accurately The IoT helps them make
some key decisions ,although
implementation remains costly, with
no scale effect. Adoption in only a few
sectors.
IIoT is a success - major
impact on global GDP
High levels of standardisation helps
penetration in multiple sectors, the
increasing use of analytics leads to
significant cost saving in multiple
Industries. Cross pollination of
Algorithms across sectors is
a multiplier effect
IIoT takes a decade to
take off
Some companies adopt customised
Solutions and can more accurately
measure key variables, but without
Improvement in cost-saving decisions.
Adoption in only a few sectors because
Of high implementation costs.

What is the overall status of Big Data and making
the most of the data in UK?
What is abundantly clear from the survey is that UK
companies are falling behind in the race to exploit the
new techniques of analysis that are now available.
The UK also appears to be insufficiently forward-
looking when it comes to the potential for data analysis.
Whereas most of their German and French
counterparts want to use data analytics so they can
undertake new projects, the largest proportion of UK
executives wants the new techniques to help with tasks
they are already involved in.

Big Data in the UK
What kind of companies are using Big Data?
46. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
What kind of companies are using their ‘big data’
and how far along are they in the UK?
Current adoption of Big Data technologies in telecom
neared 40% in October 2012, with close to 40% of
respondents planning to adopt them by 2015. So by
2016 adoption will be running at 80%.
A similar percentage of European media companies
are expected to invest in big data technologies over the
next three years, with adoption rising from 8% to close
to 46%.

What kind of companies are using their ‘big data’
and how far along are they in the UK?
Overview:
Morgan Stanley have identified twelve sectors that are
likely to be the first to invest in leveraging the
opportunities presented by big data.
The following slides provide an overview of each of
these sectors, details of contacts in each are given the
attached appendix.
47
48. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Utilities
Gas & Electricity Consumption.
This sector is among the forerunners in Big Data adoption and is
widespread in the oil and gas processing sector, reaching 46%,
but is also significantly above average among utilities.
The €14.8bn (£10.9bn) investment by the UK government in smart
metering of gas and electricity is the biggest government
investment in IoT to date.
In addition the UK is part of the European consortium developing a
smart distribution grid.
48Source:
49. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Utilities
Water Distribution.
Smart water grids, like Smart Electricity grids are primarily
concerned with flow management and usage metering.
Specialist Big Data skills combined with Spatial Analytics will be
required to develop this infrastructure.
49
50. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Insurance
Overview.
This is a highly competitive global market which is centered in
London.
There is substantial demand for Big Data and Actuarial skills to
assist in the assessment and modeling of risk scenarios.
plans for adoption are strong particularly among banks and in the
midsize segment.
50
51. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Insurance
Automotive.
Insurance companies in the UK offer reduced premiums to
consumers prepared to have a small device attached to a vehicle
that tracks time of trip, speed, driving style etc.
In the UK Aviva http://www.aviva.co.uk have used smartphones
to asses driving styles (this reduces the cost to the insurer and
mitigates the risk of damaging additional expensive electronics in
the event of an accident.)
In the longer term autonomous vehicles promise to reduce
accident rates and provide higher resolution data that will further
assist in the calculation of risk.
51
52. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Insurance
Life.
As mentioned previously privacy may be a barrier to entry for
Finnish companies here.
Morgan Stanley suggest that customers may be more willing to
give data from health monitoring devices following a major health
scare such as a heart attack.
52
53. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Capital Goods
Overview.
Big Data has massive implications for industry. The ability to a to
optimise performance and, reduce maintenance and extend the
lifecycle of plant will deliver significant efficiencies.
Combining these efficiencies may result in productivity
improvements of 1-1.5% adding €8.9-€17.8trillion ($10-$15) trillion
to global GDP over a twenty year period.
GE estimate that Big Data could rapidly deliver a 1% reduction in
fuel consumption for commercial jetliners saving the industry
€1.7bn a year
The UK has world beating aerospace business that included air
craft manufacturing Airbus & Rolls Royce and satellite production
and management Immarsat.
53
54. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Capital Goods
Opportunities.
Opportunities in this vertical for Big Data analytics and
visualisation abound throughout the technology stack.
Smart machines, new plan designed with sensors embedded or
augmenting existing plant with sensors and devices.
Communications, wireless technologies to transmit data over
both short and long distance at a variety of volumes and
velocities.
Analytics and applications as discussed previously predictive
analytics and programmatic responses will have a major part to
play.
54
55. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
The continued ageing of the UK population will put increasing
strain on the National Health Service.
The average value of NHS services for a retired household in the
UK is £5,200 p/a.
The potential Big Data to deliver improved efficiencies in the NHS
is enormous. The Service is currently focusing on three areas of
opportunity.
Early identification
Research
Tailored healthcare
Healthcare
Overview.
55
56. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Healthcare
Prevention & Early Identification.
Private health providers, insurance companies, pharmacticals
companies and the NHS will be keen to develop applcations and
servies that leverage the following
The explosion of wearable's and other health monitoring devices
coupled with smart phone applications can provide clinicians with
essential diagnosis tools.
Such devices may also provide helpful ‘nudges’ such as
suggesting an individual take some exercise. Or alert them to
environmental factor such as air pollution that may trigger an
asthma attack.
Dedicated devices in the home may also assist the elderly and
mentally ill to live more independently.
56
57. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Healthcare
Research.
The ability to gather more data can only accelerate and improve
studies into the overall health of a population.
Specific devices and programmes may be used to analyse
whether particulate combinations of genetics, lifestyle, and
environment result in predispositions or resistance to specific
conditions.
Including data from wider networks (meteorological, social, and
search) will also assist in research into the prediction of epidemic
and pandemic.
57
58. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Healthcare
Tailored Healthcare.
Tailored healthcare, the aggregation of real time health monitoring
and the identification of trends has potential for the NHS.
There is already steady growth in demand hardware and software
that facilitate the notion of “the quantified self” and “body hacking”.
Platforms such as Apple’s Health Kit will result in growth in these
types of applications.
A peculiarity of the NHS is the ability for individual NHS Trusts to
commission software over the past 5 years has seen individual NHS
Trusts develop apps to overcome management and healthcare
issues. There is a market opportunity here.
58
59. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Healthcare
Challenges & Risks.
Data Security: Minimum standards must be agreed so that an
individual knows who is using their personal data, why it is being
used and for whom it is being used (see insurance).
Interoperability and standards. The NHS has a poor track record in
automation and digitisation of records. Introducing additional
inputs from Big Data will only make this environment more
complex and challenging.
Education and change management: Healthcare professional must
work with patients to ensure they understand the benefits of these
new technologies and have sufficient knowledge to respond to the
data available to them.
59
60. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Retail
Overview.
Smart phone technologies are already revolutionizing shopper
behavior and major retailers are adapting Omni-Channel strategies
to meet these needs.
However it is the smart phone and not Big Data as such that is
revolutionising the way retailers interact with their customers.
The dramatic impacts will be in the automation of warehousing,
stock tracking and supply chain management.
60
61. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Retail
The automation of warehouses in which orders are picked and
packed by robots to supply individual customer orders is yet to
become ubiquitous.
This will change as the cost of RFID and other tagging
technologies continue to fall.
Tagging of individual items delivering further operational
efficiencies as automated check out in supermarkets become
reality such as iBeacons.
61
62. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Retail
Big Data Opportunities.
Opportunities exist for the tracking and management of
many thousands of product variant SKU’s (Stock
Keeping Units) from factory to retail environment to
consumer.
Inventory management and inter-operability with supply
chain will also provide opportunities for innovation.
62
63. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Logistics
Overview.
This sector is set for a strong jump within the next two years, with
nearly 35% of UK firms planning to invest in Big Data Programs.
The impact on the global logistics industry will be profound
impacting almost every process and operation involved in moving
goods, raw materials and people from A to B.
GPS and the internet have allowed for the tracking of assets and
individual items as the pass through a delivery chain.
Big Data will allow for the the better utilisation of these assets
monitoring operational procedures, operator behaviors and
maintenance requirements.

65. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Logistics
Overview.
GPS and the internet have allowed for the tracking of assets and
individual items as the pass through a delivery chain for many
years.
This GPS data will become more dense as, individual containers
and the items within them are able to transmit there whereabouts.
Containers will become more secure as sensors are used to detect
whether container has been opened.
65
66. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Logistics
Overview.
In 2013 DHL surveyed customers across Europe and asked whether
they had considered how data tracking might be exploited in terms of
customer innovation and increased efficiencies:
64% No
23% Planned
14% Yes
66Source:
67. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Factory Automation
Overview.
In terms of adoption of Big Data the sector appears as a laggard,
with some 6.2% of current adopters, However further 26.4%
planning to invest in Big Data. This low figure is due to legacy
infrastructure “M2M Islands” not yet interfacing with Big Data.
Factories currently produce “islands” of M2M intelligence. Big Data
will see these islands integrated facilitating greater automation.
Enabling individual components in the manufacturing process
become more responsive and flexible.
Efficiencies in energy use, reduced manpower and improved
safety will result in cost saving and efficiencies.
67Source:
68. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Mining
Overview.
Better utilisation of infrastructure will result in higher production at
lower operating costs. Monitoring of plant will facilitate better
maintenance and energy efficiencies.
Autonomous plant will result in lower costs of extraction. Rio Tinto
in Australia already operate autonomous extractors that deliver
waste rock and ore to automated trucks. Plans are afoot for these
trucks to deliver ore to an automated rail link.
As there is a limited mining industry left in the UK this is not an
area we have focused further on. Europe may be a better
opportunity to research. This may change with the investment in
Fracking depending on future legislation.

90. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Building the Industrial IoT & Big Data
The development of the infrastructure that will power the Industrial
Internet will provide a rich environment for inward investment.
To support this growth the British Government has initiated the Smart
Cities Program. Working with local authorities, academia, and local
business the Smart Cities Program will develop network infrastructure
that will deliver better services for citizens such as traffic management
and recycling.
It is anticipated that the development of this infrastructure will foster
innovation and growth in this field. Contracts for the development of Ultra
Narrowband low powered networks have been granted to Arqiva, and their
partner Sigfox. Nuel are also deploying their weightless networks
providing wide area connectivity in these cities. The network in set to go
live in April 2015.

The UK Smart Cities Program.
Infrastructure: Why Smart Cities are the Key to Growth.
The biggest inhibitor to change is the lack of connectivity. So in
areas where councils are installing Sigfox ULB networks and
Weightless (transmitted through the UHF end of the Spectrum)
protocols, almost any object can have “always on” two-way
connectivity to the internet – a bin in the middle of a park for
example.
It is the introduction of theses networks that will drive innovation
and change. Therefore in terms of investment the money is likely
to flow to these hubs. Accordingly it’s in these cities that clusters of
innovation are most likely to emerge.

Big Data Value Chain
114Source: IBM Data November 2014
The key to understanding the key steps in the value chain is
to take a focused look at each stage of the data lifecycle.
Discover: In today’s digitized world, there are many sources
of data that help solve business problems that are both
internal and external to organizations. Data sources need to
be located and evaluated for cost, coverage, and quality.
Ingest: The ingest pipeline is fundamental to enabling the
reliable operation of entire data platforms. There are diverse
file formats and network connections to consider, as well as
considerations around frequency and volume.
115. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Big Data Value Chain
115Source: IBM Data November 2014
Process: Many applications are well served by processing
data immediately following the ingest stage, to transform the
data into a format that facilitates its reuse or to take
immediate action based on incoming events.
Persist: Cost-effective distributed storage offers many
options for persisting data. The choice of format or database
technology is often influenced by the nature of other stages
in the value chain, especially analysis.
Integrate: Much of the value in big data can be found from
combining a variety of data sources to find new insights.
Integration is a nontrivial but valuable step in which this
combination process occurs.
116. Eyetoeye 2015 UK Research Report.
Big Data Value Chain
116Source: IBM Data November 2014
Analyze: The star of the big data show—analysis—
depends critically on every other step in the value
chain—the so-called data janitorial work that makes up
80 percent of data science. New insights and actions
are derived from data, enabled by an ever-growing and
nuanced choice of tools and platforms.
Expose: The results of analytics and data that are
exposed to the organization in a way that makes them
useful for value creation represents the final step in
deriving value from data.
