Business conditions change constantly, and the pace of that change is accelerating. Quickly analyzing data trends and their impact on a business is crucial to remaining competitive.
Today users' needs are outgrowing their current data warehouse system making it harder for enterprises to keep up:
- Growing data. With data volumes growing exponentially, existing systems are stressed beyond their limits. Increasingly slow response times and degraded system performance inhibit an organization's ability to make informed business decisions quickly. Outdated systems keep line-of-business managers from accurately deciphering data trends.
- An urgent need for insight. To transform raw operational data into actionable insight, growing populations of users need to collect and analyze large amounts of information in real time. But they can't extract maximum value from Business Intelligence applications if inflexible data warehouses aren't able to respond to changing business conditions - or if their database systems can't scale with the needs of the business. And some appliance solutions lack the re-configurable architecture that agile enterprises demand.
- Complex infrastructures and many sources of data. Invoicing, shipment tracking, partner communications, financial reporting and other business tasks often result in a variety of disparate databases, logs and records. This complicates efforts to collect, analyze, and transform these mountains of electronically generated data into information useful to managers throughout the enterprise.
