Barreras y motivadores para la adopción de soluciones de big data en empresas de telecomunicaciones en el Ecuador.

Abstract

Big Data may be one of the most promising technologies of the new century, but at the same time, one of the least understood. The adoption of these technologies is uneven in the world and their use, or not, can influence the reduction of the digital divide between developed and developing countries. In Ecuador, these technologies are beginning to be adopted. The present work aims to determine the drivers and barriers for the adoption of Big Data solutions in telecommunications companies in Ecuador. For this, interviews were conducted with representatives of telecommunications companies in Ecuador affiliated with AEPROVI in which questions related to the subject in question were raised, through semi-structured interviews. Some analysis of documents and other sources of information and studies were also carried on. Next, the discourse of the actors involved was analyzed get conclusions about the notions handled by them in relation to Big Data, as well as a neo-institutional vision of the drivers and barriers for the adoption of these solutions. This research can help companies accelerate their entry into Industry 4.0 and become Data Driven companies.
