Research results of a new study among Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) members, shows that while most companies have well-established data warehouse systems, adoption is still limited within their organizations. While companies are conservative in their plans for data warehouse upgrades, there is movement toward implementation of ready-to-run data solutions, and respondents expect to see benefits from these implementation efforts, including better performance and greater insights for decision makers. The findings of the survey, which was underwritten by Oracle, and conducted by Unisphere Research, are detailed in a new report, "A New Dimension to Data Warehousing: 2011 IOUG Data Warehousing Survey."
