DATA WAREHOUSE COSTS SOAR, ROI STILL NOT REALIZED

Data Warehouse Costs Soar, ROI Still Not Realized

94% report of data leaders voice serious concerns
Only 22% saw a full return on investment

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – August 12, 2021 – Enterprises are pouring money into data
management software – to the tune of $73 billion in 2020 – but are seeing very
little return on their data investments. According to a new study out today from
Dremio, the SQL Lakehouse company, and produced by Wakefield Research, only 22%
of the data leaders surveyed have fully realized ROI in the past two years, with
most data leaders (56%) having no consistent way of measuring it.

In addition to the survey findings, the report also introduces the Data Value
Scorecard, a measure of companies’ efforts to unlock the value or ROI of data.
Through a series of metrics that assesses their data policies, the Scorecard
provides a quick, aggregated view of how efficiently companies and their
employees use and manage data.

“Data leaders are frequently concerned about the out-of-control costs of data
warehouses, particularly as their workloads grow – a big surprise to them since
the data warehouse cost of entry can be low to start. Moreover, the lack of
predictability around future costs leads to very poor financial governance for
data leaders and CFOs alike,” said Billy Bosworth, CEO, Dremio. “While companies
understand they have an expensive sunk cost for data warehouses, they are keen
on ways to drive newer analytics architectures directly from open data lakes for
better financial governance and highly performant queries against vast amounts
of data.”

The report found that in order to run analytics, enterprises are making multiple
copies of their data – 12 copies on average. A staggering 60% report that their
company has over 10 copies of their data floating around.

To add insult to injury, 82% say that their end users have used inconsistent
versions of the same dataset at the same time due to their extract transform and
load (ETL) processes, undermining the data integrity & trust, and slowing down
the decision-making process. Notably:

 * Among all data leaders who use a data warehouse, 94% report concerns over it.
 * 79% are concerned about scaling their architecture; only 20% report having no
   concerns about the cost of scaling.
 * 84% of data leaders say it is normal for data analysts at their company to
   work with a partial data set - this means many data analysts may be working
   with insufficient data.
 * Just 16% expect fresh data in minutes or hours; 51% expect it in terms of
   weeks
 * More than 3 in 4 data leaders (76%) say they are locked into certain vendors
   due to their closed systems. This means just a quarter of companies have true
   freedom to explore new and innovative data tools and analytics.

Data Value Scorecard

Respondents answered questions pertaining to their data processes and
architectures, including common pain points for inefficient set-ups,
underestimating timelines, using inconsistent or partial versions of datasets
and being locked into certain vendors. Respondents were scored on a pass-fail
basis.

Despite spending years investing in ways to collect data, few have figured out
how to efficiently and effectively use data for business purposes. On average,
companies with data leaders score 26% – meaning they passed 2.6 metrics.

 * 28% passed, answering that it is “very easy” for end users to access data and
   develop insights
 * 20% passed, saying data project timelines “rarely or never” underestimate ETL
   times
 * 20% passed, reporting their company has “little to no” restrictions on data
   access for governance

About the Dremio Data Value Scorecard

The Dremio Data Value Scorecard is a survey scorecard developed by Dremio and
executed by Wakefield Research. Wakefield Research conducted a quantitative
research study in June 2021 among 500 Data & Analytics Leaders at enterprises in
the U.S., UK, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Australia, Hong Kong, and
Singapore. Enterprises were polled regarding their data value — that is, how
efficiently they are able to use data within their organization — and their
ability to use data for business decisions.

More information on the Data Value Scorecard is available upon request.
