In the recent TDWI Best Practices Report: BI, Analytics, and the Cloud, we take a look at organizations’experiences with and plans for cloud BI and analytics, including how satisfied organizations are with the cloud and why, overcoming cloud adoption challenges, and what your organization should consider when moving to the cloud.

Business users want the power of analytics—but analytics can only be as good as the data. The biggest challenge nontechnical users are encountering is the same one that has been a steep challenge for data scientists: slow, difficult, and tedious data preparation.
