Data warehousing and business intelligence increasingly
important
The use of
data warehousing and
business intelligence software is still on an upward curve at
firms, says research commissioned by software procurement firm the
Evaluation
Centre.
The use of data warehousing and business intelligence software
has now assumed a high profile in many organisations, says the
research, with 66% of senior managers seeing it as "very critical"
or "critical" to their decision making.
This positive approach is reflected in the fact that 67% of
organisations plan to extend the scope of their data warehousing
activities to new functional areas, while 64% will be further
exploiting their existing information.
A further 53% will be expanding the use of these systems to new
users, said the research, which surveyed 100 firms.
