The rapid evolution and increasing integration of information systems within organizations have transformed the way businesses operate and compete in the global economy. This research explores the vital topic of Big Data Analytics in contemporary Information Systems, focusing on its technological, strategic, and ethical implications.

In this study, the research examines the current trends in Big Data Analytics, its application across various industries, and the challenges associated with its implementation. The literature review synthesizes peer-reviewed studies on data mining techniques, cloud-based analytics frameworks, and data security concerns. The methodology involves a comparative analysis of case studies from the healthcare, finance, and retail sectors to assess the benefits and limitations of Big Data solutions.

The findings highlight significant improvements in decision-making speed, customer insight, and operational efficiency attributable to Big Data strategies. However, challenges such as data privacy, security vulnerabilities, and skilled workforce shortages persist. The discussion interprets these findings by contrasting successful implementations against cases where organizations faced hurdles, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning and ethical considerations.

The conclusion underscores that while Big Data Analytics offers substantial competitive advantages, organizations must address data governance and privacy issues to realize its full potential. Future research should explore emerging technologies such as machine learning integration and real-time analytics to extend current understanding and practical applications. Recommendations include developing standardized frameworks for data security and employee training programs to foster effective use of Big Data technologies.
