Analytics is all about gaining insights from data for better decision making. The
business press is abuzz with examples of leading organizations across the world using
data-driven insights for strategic, financial and operational excellence. A recent study on
“data-driven decision making” conducted by researchers at MIT and Wharton provides
empirical evidence that “firms that adopt data-driven decision making have output and
productivity that is 5-6% higher than the competition”. The potential payoff for firms can
range from higher shareholder value to a market leadership position.
However, the vision of delivering fast, interactive, insightful analytics has remained elusive
for most organizations. Most enterprise IT organizations continue to struggle to deliver
actionable analytics due to time-sensitive, sprawling requirements and ever tightening
budgets. The issue is further exasperated by the fact that most enterprise analytics
solutions require dealing with a number of hardware, software, storage and networking
vendors and precious resources are wasted integrating the hardware and software
components to deliver a complete analytical solution.
