- Relational data warehouses, although reliable, centralized repositories for corporate data, were not built to handle the speed and volume of data and analytics today.
- IT is under immense pressure from business units to provide technology that will yield greater agility and insight.
- While some organizations are benefitting from modernization technologies, the majority of IT departments are unfamiliar with the technologies and have not yet defined clear use cases.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- The vast majority of your corporate data is not being properly leveraged. Modernize the data warehouse to get value from the 80% of unstructured data that goes unused.
- Avoid rip and replace. Develop a future state that complements your existing data warehouse with emerging technologies.
- Be flexible in your roadmap. Create an implementation roadmap that’s incremental and adapts to changing business priorities.
Impact and Result
- Establish both the business and IT perspectives of today’s data warehouse environment.
- Explore the art-of-the-possible. Don’t get stuck trying to gather technical requirements from business users who don’t know what they don’t know. Use Info-Tech’s interview guide to discuss the pains of the current environment, and more importantly, where stakeholders want to be in the future.
- Build an internal knowledgebase with respect to emerging technologies. The technology landscape is constantly shifting and often difficult for IT staff to keep track of. Use Info-Tech’s Data Warehouse Modernization Technology Education Deck to ensure that IT is able to appropriately match the right tools to the business’ use cases.
- Create a compelling business case to secure investment and support.
