How digital enterprises are scaling their data to infinity and beyond in the cloud
Digital transformation is fundamentally changing how enterprises need to do business to stay relevant. Optimizing customer relationships and making the business much more data-focused are not only the top two goals driving investments in data-driven initiatives today, they can typically result in a 5-10% revenue boost. However traditional data warehousing has been turned on its head and is failing to keep up with the digital economy due to:
- The titanic demand for sophisticated analysis of massive amounts of data, and data types, from multiple sources to drive cutting-edge business insights.
- Advanced data analysis, once the purview of IT wizards and data scientists, is now in the hands of everyday business users, or “citizen data scientists”.
Forward-thinking enterprises are moving their data to the Cloud to address these seismic shifts. The Cloud offers distinct advantages around supporting business agility, data scalability, elasticity, infrastructure management, speed of processing, cost containment and more. But getting there isn’t simple or easy.
