The 10 Vs of Big Data—and How Inteliment Helps GCCs Turn Them into Business Value

In today’s digital economy, data is the foundation of every enterprise strategy, product, and customer experience. The challenge is not just the amount of data but its complexity, speed, and quality. This is where the concept of “The 10 Vs of Big Data” comes into play.

For Global Capability Centers (GCCs), which act as strategic hubs for analytics and innovation, mastering these 10 Vs is essential to accelerate decision-making, scale AI initiatives, and drive measurable business outcomes.

What Are the 10 Vs of Big Data?

1. Volume – The sheer scale of data being generated every second—from transactions, IoT sensors, mobile devices, social media, and enterprise systems.
2. Velocity – The speed at which data is created, ingested, and needs to be processed to remain relevant.
3. Variety – The diversity of data formats: structured (databases), semi-structured (JSON, XML), and unstructured (videos, emails, call logs).
4. Veracity – Ensuring accuracy, reliability, and trustworthiness amid noise and inconsistencies.
5. Value – The ultimate goal: extracting insights that translate into tangible business results.
6. Variability – Data meaning and structure change across contexts, geographies, and time.
7. Visualization – Converting massive datasets into intuitive dashboards and reports that enable quick decisions.
8. Validity – Making sure data is fit for purpose and aligned with compliance, governance, and operational needs.
9. Vulnerability – Protecting sensitive data, ensuring privacy, and managing security risks.
10. Volatility – Understanding how long data remains relevant, when it should be archived, and how to manage its lifecycle.

Why These 10 Vs Matter for GCCs

GCCs are no longer just cost-saving offshore units—they are innovation engines for global enterprises. To deliver faster analytics and AI adoption, they need to:

• Handle data complexity at scale
• Ensure regulatory compliance across regions
• Enable advanced ML/AI pipelines using reliable datasets
• Deliver analytics as a service with predictable quality and cost

This demands specialized data engineering, governance, and analytics capabilities—precisely where Inteliment partners with GCCs.
