Enabling Business Productivity by Uprooting Data Complexity in the BI/Analytics Environment

Because BI/DW architectures have historically been engineered to maintain the performance of OLTP systems, implementation decisions of the past have forced analysts to sacrifice data accessibility and flexibility in return for reasonable reporting and analytics performance. The reliance on ERP and other operational systems to run the business negatively impacts the agility of the data analyst. Limited data accessibility and increased latency are effectively engineered into the analytics environment, creating complexities that preclude the rapid discovery of actionable insights.
