Salary Survey: BI/AnalyticsDriven by online, mobile and social media activity, data stockpiles are growing exponentially.In fact, their growth is rivaled only by the increase in demand to make sense of that data inorder to make smarter business decisions. In short, in our digital era, there’s little doubt thatdata-savvy professionals will be in demand and will continue to stay on top.
Business intelligence and data integration/data warehousing professionals have long been at ornear the top of the IT pay scale, but the 2011 InformationWeek IT Salary Survey paints a par-ticularly rosy picture for these masters of data management and analysis.
Whether the adjective is “more,” “better” or “top,” it can be applied to this group. And to dif-ferentiate within this group, BI/analytics professionals enjoy above-average compensation,while data integration/data warehousing types—collectively known as information manage-ment (IM) professionals—are at the pinnacle of many of the categories in this year’s survey.
Paying the Big BucksThe good news for all IT workers heading into 2011 is that salaries and compensation arestarting to increase after two tough years of recession, layoffs and uncertainty in the wake ofthe global financial crisis. Base salaries for IT staff and management are fairly flat at $83,000

and $105,000, respectively, for 2011. But bonuses and rewards such as profit sharing are grow-ing modestly, pushing total compensation for staff and managers up 0.9% and 1.9%, respec-tively, to $87,000 and $115,000 this year.
Things look event better for BI and IM professionals, with anecdotal reports and job listingspointing to strong demand. The so-called big-data era, with ever-growing data stores and theimperative to make use of data for business insight, bodes well for both professions.
This year as in years past, survey data shows that BI/analytics pros are getting above-average

salaries while IM professionals are at the top of the income heap. The median annual basesalaries for BI staff and managers are $85,000 and $110,000, respectively, and median totalcompensation for these workers is $90,000 and $130,000.
The median 2011 annual base salaries for IM staff and managers are $98,000 and $118,000,respectively. Median compensation among the IM staff surveyed was $107,000, while IM man-agers put that figure at $131,000,
IM staff are unmatched in total compensation, though they are trailed closely by their enterpriseapplication integration colleagues (at $105,000) and enterprise resource planning staff (at$102,000). IM manager compensation is second only to that of enterprise content managementmanagers (who earn a median of $136,000). A small base of wireless infrastructure managerssurveyed suggest they have a slightly higher salary than IM pros, but there’s not enough datafor high confidence in that finding.
As with all IT salaries, BI and IM pay and compensation varies by region, with the Northeastand Pacific regions of the United States seeing the highest pay and the Midwest and SouthCentral regions at the low end of the spectrum.

The Tasks at HandBI and IM professionals often work together and serve on the same project teams and competencycenters. Their skills and duties are complementary, with IM pros handling the back-end data inte-gration, data management and data quality work, and BI/analytics types making use of the data onceit’s available. Both constituents serve the business, but BI types interact with the front office on moreof a day-to-day basis, whereas the IM professionals gather business requirements and interact withthe business more periodically.
What exactly do BI/analytics and IM professionals do? Their top five most time-consuming tasks andchallenges in 2011 are consistent with last year’s report. For BI/analytics professionals, it’s workingwith executives and users to define needs and requirements; developing queries and analyses;designing and revising reports; researching new technologies and vendors; and training users ortrainers within departments and business units.
Among IM professionals, the tasks that consume the most work time are working with externalstakeholders to document data requirements; documenting integration/data warehouse design,processes and procedures; designing/updating extract, transform, load (ETL) routines/code; identify-ing and accessing data sources; and designing/revising data warehouse models and architecture.
Focused on the Business It’s significant that “working with executives/stakeholders” is cited as the most time-consuming chal-lenge for both BI/analytics and IM professionals. These two groups are slightly more likely than aver-

age IT staff and managers to have previous non-IT (meaning business) experience. What’s more,they are much more likely than their peers to have non-IT responsibilities in their current positions.
Here’s the data that proves the point. Among all 1,086 BI/analytics and IM respondents, 53% of staffand 59% of managers say they had previous experience outside of IT. This compares with 50% and55% of all IT staff and managers. It’s notable that among BI and IM respondents who do have non-IT experience, 20% of staff and 22% of managers have experience in the finance area, as comparedwith 11% of staff and 15% of managers among all respondents with non-IT experience.
Make no mistake—financial insight is frequently what’s called for when analyzing data, so it’s nosurprise that those entrusted with gathering and analyzing the data are more likely to have financialexperience.
The contrast is even sharper when looking at current job responsibilities. Compared with the aver-age IT employee, BI/analytics and IM staff and managers report significantly higher rates of non-ITresponsibilities in their current positions, including business development, marketing/sales, researchand development, finance and operations/supply chain/manufacturing.
The lesson for those seeking to move into the BI and IM fields is this: Be prepared to talk up yourbusiness experience and expect to see more day-to-day responsibility for guiding business decisions,whether in finance, sales, marketing or operations.

The Down Side of on TopThus far we’ve heard about the many ways BI and IM professionals are distinguished in positiveways from average IT professionals, and the list goes on. BI and IM staff and managers feel moreintellectually challenged, overall, than their counterparts. They also have higher-than-average levelsof education, with many more master’s degrees and MBAs among them. And BI and IM pros havesuffered fewer pay and benefit cuts than overall IT employees as a result of the poor economy dur-ing the last year or two.

ny stability, benefits, challenging responsibilities, and opinion and knowledge being valued—are inline with what overall IT professionals value.
When considering their long-term career prospects, BI/analytics and IM staff are also about on parwith all IT peers, with 33% feeling that their career path is as promising today as it was five yearsago and 56% feeling it is less promising (with 11% unsure). BI/analytics and IM managers are lessoptimistic than their general IT counterparts. Whereas 40% of all managers said their career pathsare as promising today as they were five years ago, only 35% of BI/analytics and IM managers identi-fied with that statement. Totals in the not-as-promising camp were 53% among all IT managers but58% among BI/IM managers.
In what may be the down side of having a stand-out position, BI/analytics and IM types are lesssecure than their peers. Despite reporting fewer sacrifices such as pay and benefit cuts tied to thepoor economy in recent years, 14% of BI/analytics and IM staff and 10% of managers agreed withthe statement “I feel insecure” about my present job. By comparison, 12% of staff of all IT staff and9% of all managers feel the same way.
Could it be that the pressure of being so enmeshed in crucial business decisions makes BI and IMprofessionals feel more vulnerable? And does being on top make IM managers more inclined to feelthat things aren’t as promising as they were five years ago?

These shades of doubt are among the few blots on an otherwise encouraging collection of surveydata where BI/analytics and IM professionals are concerned. Salaries and compensation appear to beback on growth path for these professionals. The increases are modest—as are the slow-but-steadyimprovements in the general world economy—but if you look at demand for BI and IM skills, youcan’t help but be optimistic.

Want More Like This?Making the right technology choices is a challenge for IT teams everywhere. Whetherit’s sorting through vendor claims, justifying new projects or implementing new sys-tems, there’s no substitute for experience. And that’s what InformationWeek Analyticsprovides—analysis and advice from IT professionals. Our subscription-based site houses more than 900 reports and briefs, and more than 100 new reports are slated forrelease in 2011. InformationWeek Analytics members have access to:
Research: Enterprise Search:Enterprise search is one of the most useful technologies thatmany companies aren’t buying, and the ones that have bought it aren’t implementing—atleast not company-wide. It isn’t the fault of the technology or the companies that sell it.
Best Practices: Performance Management:Advances in business intelligence, analyticsand data warehousing make it possible to get the information. But real challengesremain in determining what to measure, how to communicate measures effectively, andhow to align decisions and actions with strategic objectives.
Best Practices: Maximizing I/O:We examine the milieu of today’s data center and outlinesome strategies for wringing the most performance, utility and efficiency out of yournext network upgrade.
Informed CIO: MDM:Master data management (MDM) is a process that leading organiza-tions are employing to improve knowledge about their data resources and to addressdata quality, consistency and related information management problems that arise, par-ticularly as users try to access multiple sources.
Strategy: Database Access Control:Experts agree: One reason for the compromise ofdatabase information is that users are given too much privilege. How can an IT organi-zation build an environment in which database users (and administrators) are allowedto access only the data they truly need?
PLUS: Signature reports, such as the InformationWeek Salary Survey, InformationWeek 500and the annual State of Security report; full issues; and much more.
