Even though many organisations have an established data warehouse, the demand for operational business intelligence is increasing according to a survey from GoldenGate, a provider of real-time data integration solutions.
The company defines operational business intelligence (BI) as the effort to integrate analytical and trend information with operational processes to enable more informed and real-time decision making. Thus it says that a centralised data repository used by sophisticated analysts was no longer sufficient.
A little more than half of the respondents in the survey indicated that their data warehouse currently supports operational business intelligence applications and more than 90% anticipating increased use of operational business intelligence over the next year.
Other key findings in the survey include more than four-fifths of respondents indicating that their enterprises support a data warehouse; almost half of the data warehouses are growing between 10–50%; more than a quarter of respondents having between one and five terabytes of data stored in their data warehouses; a fifth of respondents reporting that more than 500 people access the data in their data warehouses; nearly a third indicating that data warehousing served as the foundation for more than 150 reports each month; more than 40% of respondents indicating that they have more than ten different sources populating the data warehouse.
