"U.S. Data Warehouse Software Applications and Tools Market: The Competition May be Fierce, But the Lucrative Rewards are Well Worth the Fight"
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen. While the data warehousing industry is continually heating up, resulting in substantial revenue growth and opportunities for driven market participants, competition remains fierce.
According to recent strategic research by Frost & Sullivan, U.S. Data Warehouse Software Applications and Tools Market accounted for $2.1 billion in revenues in 1997, up 23.7 percent from 1996. With it's ability to store and process corporate-wide data, data warehousing is fast becoming a competitive factor in virtually every industry.
This marketing consulting study examines six key market segments including design and modeling tools, transportation and movement tools, data storage, data management tools, data access tools, and data mining. Each of these sections features an examination of major market drivers and restraints, as well as revenues generated from the year 1997 to 2004. In terms of revenues, storage remains the largest of the data warehousing segments, allowing the leaders of that segment to lead the total market.
U.S. Data Warehouse Software Applications and Tools Market also provides an in-depth examination of major market issues and trends including an expected 1998 increase in potential data mart customers over data warehouse customers. ''Another substantial market trend is that the data warehousing industry is moving towards offering integrated product suites to customers,'' explains Frost & Sullivan information technology research analyst Sandra Boyd. ''More and more, a customer goes to a vendor and purchases a 'single' license and support agreement as opposed to the separate tools. This is taking the implementation burden off of the customer.''
The data warehousing industry is extremely competitive, with large vendors infamous for participating in advertising, marketing and sales wars. In order to remain one step ahead of your competitors, your company must possess a complete understanding of the current trends, issues and opportunities within the market. This study can play a crucial role in business strategies by providing the latest information and explaining how your company can use it.
