Democratizing Data Warehousing in an Era of Integrated Operations
Between 2010 and 2020, the volume of data created, captured, and consumed increased from 2 zettabytes to 64.2 zettabytes. By 2025, it is expected to reach 181 zettabytes*. This exponential growth in the quantity and complexity of data is hardly surprising. People’s rising comfort with online transactions and reliance on interconnectedness brought on by the Internet of Things (IoT) has spelled boom time for data, compelling data warehousing service providers to enhance their computation and storage capabilities.
A direct outcome of this data explosion is that service providers have been phasing out their monolithic, inflexible technology platforms. As businesses integrate their global operations, the focus is on offering modular solutions that can make data more easily accessible, move seamlessly, and be user-friendly. In short, data has become more democratized than ever before.
Newer Tools for Newer Insights
For a while now, the rise of customer experience as a competitive differentiator has been driving the need to de-silo data for cohesive, collaborative decision-making. With customer touchpoints mushrooming across all digital channels, businesses are suddenly finding themselves snowed under by new data. However, many of these businesses do not possess the skills or tools needed to analyze the data and generate differentiated insights. In addition to finding a way to scale storage for their structured and unstructured data, they now have to seek simple, rapid ways to scale computation.
The decentralization of decision-making is also bringing home the need to make insights available to groups other than the leadership teams. An elegant solution to this need for superior insight generation and democratization is to adopt a cloud data warehouse that allows them to access data stored within it as well as build paths to third-party data. The real challenge is to find a service provider that can do so economically and securely while integrating with the organization’s BI tools.
