Challenges to Enterprise Data Analysis
Decision makers know the importance of data analysis for accurate and faster decision-making processes. However, the traditional on-premises data warehouse and business intelligence tool may not support it. Nowadays, cloud technology is transforming the traditional way of analytics with agility, scalability, cost-effectiveness and machine learning capability by the concept of data lake and self-service analytics. Enterprise can hence cultivate the data-driven culture in the enterprise decision-making process in a timely manner.
| Traditional Analytic Journey | Cloud Analytic Journey | |
|---|---|---|
| Scalability with booming Data Growth | Limited and rigid | Highly scalable with on-demand consumption |
| Data Storage | Typically on-premises Hardware Data Warehouse appliances, mainly for structured data only | Data Lake for both structured and unstructured data |
| Cost | Huge Capex investment |
|
| Approach | Typically ETL | Both ETL and ELT |
| Performance | ETL time is 50% longer compared with Cloud Analytical approach due to limitation of computational power | Significant reduction in ETL and ELT time by scaling of Cloud computational power when needed |
| AI/ML Capability | Limited | AI and ML capability at ease with prebuilt ML model and fast deployment |
