More data= more users.
One would think that this would hold true for organizations who claim to be fueled by their data. The reality is that most firms don’t consistently turn their data into action. According to a report from Forrester, 73% of firms aspire to be data-driven, but of this 73%, only 29% utilize it. What does this say about their approach towards data analytics?
At our October meet-up, Dennis O’Connor, senior sales engineer at Snowflake and veteran to the data analytics space, shared his thoughts on the cloud; where it is right now and what its presence means for the future of enterprise analytics. O’Connor believes that “It’s not the data itself. It’s how you take full advantage of the insight it provides.”
Traditional approaches haven’t perfected their approach towards healing the “data struggle”. O’Connor goes into detail, explaining where they’re falling short:
Hard to incorporate new data source.
Too much time waiting for data.
Hard to experiment with data.
Reports are too slow.
Too much time spent on manual administration.
Data is stale.
How can the data-driven dream become more accessible? The solution is in the cloud.
