Data Management for Business Intelligence

As the sheer amount of information available for business intelligence applications has grown, and the sophistication of BI capabilities has accelerated, organizations are striving to improve time-to-information for business users. Data storage and retrieval decisions have started to be made based on cost rather than fulfilling a business need, and this has led to compromises that impact business performance. In January and February of 2008, Aberdeen Group conducted a research program among 333 respondents from several industry sectors, geographies, company sizes and job roles. The program included an online survey and several one-on-one interviews.
