As data analysis continues its march from a driver of competitive advantage to one of competitive necessity, self-service analytics solutions are a valuable tool in enabling a data-driven enterprise.
Self-service analytics present an opportunity to decentralize the analytics process and break down the barriers associated with legacy analytics infrastructure. Providing on-demand access to data analysis allows business users to increase time-to-insight, and relieves IT of the burden of constantly responding to requests. This, ultimately, can translate to significant top- and bottom-line performance gains.
