Are you the Best-in-class company on “Time-to-Information” ?  

That’s really a great news to the BI world during these dull days of business. I’m sure other companies will start becoming confident on the never understood phenomenon of ROI. Makes a day !!

According to research presented in a new report, “Data Management for Business Intelligence,” 77% of Best-in-Class companies are able to automate the integration of data from multiple sources, compared to 54% of Industry Average companies, and only 22% of Laggards. This capability was identified by respondents as being critical for solving the top business pressure — the need to reduce the time-to-information for non-technical end-users.

Best-in-Class companies are making investments in technology enablers to alleviate this pressure. 82% of Best-in-Class companies are currently utilizing data warehousing software solutions, versus 56% of all other respondents. 80% of Best-in-Class companies are currently deploying Business Intelligence query and reporting tools, versus 47% of all other respondents. Finally, 68% of Best-in-Class companies are currently implementing data warehouse appliance technology (packaged hardware and software solutions) versus only half that number (34%) of all other respondents.
