According to a recent market survey conducted by Dataupia Corporation and the Business Intelligence Network™, when it comes to data warehouse platforms, today's enterprises favor incremental augmentation over rip and replace solutions.

The study's findings reveal that 75 percent of respondents surveyed would rather incrementally augment their current platform than engage in a rip and replace scenario to meet growing information and data warehousing demands. While this statistic on its own was not surprising, drivers such as budget approval, overall cost, and time constrainsts shed light on the current state of data warehousing within the enterprise. The survey results also showcase a prevalent dilemma facing many data warehousing administrators and business today: pressure to deliver faster, more complex query reporting across multiple databases and new applications with current infrastructure constraints and interoperability limitations.

"The results of this survey only strengthen the ideals that Dataupia was founded upon. We strongly believe that a solution that fits into an organization's existing infrastructure and enables broader access is essential to an effective data management system," said Foster Hinshaw, chief executive officer, Dataupia. "The findings from this project validate a greater market need for non-disruptive, continuously scalable and cost effective solutions such as the Dataupia Satori Server. We understand that providing our customers with a personalized appliance allows them to better leverage their data in the manner that works best for them. We are proud to offer a solution that is built for the changing needs of the enterprise."
