Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Data Warehousing Pulse Check Plans and Challenges, 2009

This IDC study seeks to provide readers with the current status of data warehouse (DW) adoption and provides evidence on the potential growth and key pain points on business analytics (BA) implementations, based on a software survey conducted in March/April 2009. This survey is based on 1,341 respondents in Australia, India, Korea, China, and Singapore. Comparisons among these countries and the main industries are also provided.

"If there is one thing that is guaranteed to continue growing - economic crisis or not - it is information. DWs are in the terabytes, with 61.6% of respondents polled expecting their DWs to grow over the next 12 months. At the same time, growing data volumes often reside in disparate systems, making it a challenge to obtain timely and trusted information," says Sharon Tan, research manager, IDC's Asia/Pacific Software Research.
