TDWI Infographic | BI, Analytics, and the Cloud Best Practices

The cloud is becoming a mature platform for data management, integration, business intelligence (BI), and analytics. Business leaders understand that the cloud can provide flexibility, scalability, and agility for their BI and analytics projects. Instances of the cloud can quickly spin up (or down) without the cost and delays of installing on-premises applications. 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. Here are several of the key survey results.

This infographic explores the results from that report.

TDWI Checklist Report: Using and Choosing a Cloud Solution for Data Warehousing

Authored by Colin White

This checklist identifies the benefits the cloud offers, offers potential use cases, and presents key criteria for using and choosing a cloud solution for data warehousing.

Foreward:

The cloud environment offers a pay-as-you-go, on-demand, and elastic scalability model that can provide significant benefits for both the business and IT. Compared to an on-premises IT environment, cloud computing reduces up-front project costs and enables organizations to scale their applications as required while paying only for the resources they use.

The cloud is, therefore, an ideal environment for data warehousing projects given the large data volumes and unpredictable nature of the analytic workloads involved.
