Nowadays, because of rapid data increase is brought by SNS (Social Networking Service) and the various sensor, effective utilization of big data is needed in many organizations. The purposes of this paper are to develop the extract framework on best practices and to discuss the current issues of big data utilization in Japan. Komatsu and T Point Japan were selected as best practices. The current issues are as follows: (i) the utilization of personal data, (ii) the effective use of open data, (iii) the development of human resources on big data utilization, and (iv) the difficulty of decision making based on analyzed results of big data.

This article introduces and reviews recent analyses methods on big data. We first introduce several kinds of definitions of big data based on Volume，Variety，Velocity, and Value extracted from data. Next, we describe that big data can be classified into three types – 1. various kinds of data with very large volume or producing very fast, 2. sparse data and 3. universal data –. Then we derive three important factors for utilizing big data – big data technologies, visualization and techniques for analyzing big data – and introduce the details of each factor corresponding to that three types of big data.

There are a lot of data all over the world. They are usually gathered by using the Internet. But the Internet is a best-effort type network. The data like a sensor data from lots of points have to be gather to one computer to analyze. This many-to-one traffic causes network congestion and makes the efficiency of the system decrease. We propose two methods of the big data acquisition method by using dynamic configuration of network. Two methods, i.e., GroupTable method and OFC method, are developed with using SDN, software defined networking. As the result of performance test, we concluded the system worked well as we expected and the GroupTable method is efficient for the big data acquisition system.

The cases of analyzing big data can be roughly classified into five groups.　These have come true due to the development of ICT.　But, to realize customer’s needs or to fill up a complexity gap, interacting by information with customers and observing their behavior technically are significant.　Also, to find out some useful data from big data and utilize it to develop new merchandises, skills to edit data and to frame hypotheses by abductive approach may be effective.　It means the function of human-based information system, including information sharing and organizational learning, is significant.
