Why Businesses Are Opting for Managed Analytics Services (MAaaS) in 2021

Top-line growth, bottom-line savings

→ Prioritizing Data-Driven Decision-Making

Business organizations are prioritizing data-driven decision-making as a means to keep pace with their competitors and the market. While a difficult enough challenge in itself, factors like the pandemic, increased global competitiveness, and the collective focus on digital transformation have all individually accelerated the demand for higher quality insight.

But because higher-quality insight has analytics at its core, there is immense pressure on data and analytics teams to operate above and beyond what they're capable of.

These teams are understandably struggling with a number of obstacles, including:

• Complexity: data environments and cloudscapes are quickly growing in complexity, size, and cost
• Limited resources: These intricate webs of systems, applications, policies, and bureaucracies are becoming even more of a challenge to navigate and manage given the limited amount of skilled resources and personnel available to help untangle these webs.
• A growing amount of data: International Data Corporation (IDC) has estimated that the total amount of data created worldwide is expected to grow by 163 zettabytes by 2025, with the amount subject to data analysis to grow by a factor of 50.
• Steep backlogs: even the strongest in-house data and analytics teams are currently facing a steep backlog of analytics that they owe back to the business.

So where do Managed Analytics Services (MAaaS) come into play?

In the same way that companies shifted resources to the cloud, more companies are shifting to Managed Analytics Services to help alleviate these difficulties, direct more of their energy (and budget) into improving products and services, and leverage teams to make intelligent and profitable decisions - all without a heavy, upfront investment.

In 2021, the organizations that begin the process of outsourcing managed analytics efforts will find themselves better suited to focus on process improvement and other value-add activities, and this trend will continue in the coming years.

From Gartner Predicts, 2020:

• By 2021, organizations that provision an augmented data catalog to data consumers will realize three times faster ROI from their data and analytics investments.
• By 2022, 70% of organizations will rigorously track data quality levels via metrics, increasing data quality by 60% to significantly reduce operational risks and costs.
• By 2023, 30% of organizations will exceed data and analytics ROI by governing the least amount of data that matters most to their strategic goals.
• By 2023, more than 33% of large organizations will have analysts practicing decision intelligence, including decision modeling.
