SmartSave is a mid-size financial company. 5 years ago SmartSave decided to establish a full-fledged EA practice to accommodate with the growing problems around non-transparency of its IT investments and poor business and IT alignment in general. The establishment of EA practice was successful and it was completed last 2 year. Due to recent advancement in technologies, SmartSave wants to implement Big Data technologies that would empower their staff and customers for example, implementation of analytical Big Data Technologies would enable SmartSave staff to approve credit card application within 30 minutes of the submission of the application.
