Solution Brief

Cloud AnalyticsUnlock the Potential of Data to Run Your Business Better. Businesses today are generating data at unprecedented rates, Challenges can emerge as they change the way they use their data. This includes struggling to extract insights across cloud and on-premises data sources and enable self-service business intelligence solutions with connected, real-time, and secured data.

There are three key changes to how businesses currently use data:

1. New kinds of data sources: To stay ahead of the competition and run their business in smarter ways, companies need to harness the data residing across new and disparate sources like social, mobile, sensors, and big data.

2. Merging cloud and on-premises sources: Before software used to live on local hard drives or network servers protected by rigid firewalls. Today, most businesses have started adopting various cloud applications to enable a higher speed of execution, collaboration, and ease of use. However, the data that is residing in other on-premise systems such as ER, are equally important to get an overall picture.

3. Need to empower all employees with self-service dashboards: Gone are the days when data analysis was handled mainly by expert analysts and IT. Today, businesses are putting data in the hands of all their employees starting from the sales and service to the boardroom through governed self-service dashboards.

To address data changes, businesses have to adopt new data management solutions that provide flexible scaling to support changing data volumes and secured connectivity across cloud and on-premise data sources.
