CTO , Mastek utilise information across numerous business systems . Businesses are increasingly implementing retention strategies , which means that the industry is witnessing a proliferation of structured and unstructured customer information . As a result , enterprises are feeling compelled to feed the analytical needs of the business with complex , enterprise data warehouses ( EDWs ) and business intelligence ( BI ) solutions .
On the face of it , investing in BI solutions may seem like the clear ' get-out-of-jailfree ' card ; however , these systems can create a whirlpool of data management challenges . From master data management , to data integration and data storage , BI systems lack agility and flexibility . Moreover , the complexity of the data landscape makes it difficult for BI systems to accommodate additional business needs with ease .
These analytic solutions combine multi-vendor product deployments and disciplines across complex integration patterns . Unsurprisingly , they are deployed at the cost of lengthy timeframes and excessive capital investments . While the solutions address several operational use cases of the business , they struggle to provide quick and actionable insights .
