Report: Nearly a Third of BI Professionals Spend 50% To 90% of Their Time ‘Cleaning’ Raw Data for Analytics
New study also confirms plans to shift on-premise ETL processes to the cloud.
Xplenty has announced the results of a new commissioned study aimed at understanding the challenges business intelligence professionals face in preparing raw data for analytics. The study focused on several areas of the ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) process, including preferences for on-premise or cloud-based solutions, perceived challenges, and the amount of time spent on ETL. 97% of those surveyed said ETL was critical for their business intelligence efforts. For the study, more than 200 BI professionals from across the U.S. were polled between May 1-11, 2015.
