Why organizations can't create business value with their existing data stack

Key challenges without Huwise

Fragmented data landscapes

Disconnected BI tools and platforms increase complexity, duplicate efforts, and undermine the availability of a single source of truth.

Low trust in data from business users

Business users struggle to find and understand data because of inconsistent metric definitions, duplicate KPIs, and incomplete documentation.

Limited visibility and data reuse

Data analysts spend a disproportionate amount of time reconciling data rather than delivering insights, reducing overall analytics productivity.

Slow, IT-driven data access that does not scale

Centralized models limit business agility and make it difficult to scale self-service analytics organization-wide.

Huwise helps us focus on productivity and trust. Someone can assemble an analysis in an hour that used to take a week because the data is already available.

Where that value actually comes from

The real game changer: ensuring data adoption at scale by business teams

Business teams

Business users get self-service access to trusted, ready-to-use data products and spend their time analyzing, not searching.

50% reduction in time spent searching for data

Value: $4.5M

Data teams

Each data expert saves 3 days per month, time that can be spent on higher-value analytical work.

50% reduction in data preparation time
3 days saved per month, per data expert

Data teams

Shared, governed data products become common building blocks — freeing 10 days per year per data expert for value-added analysis.

4x reduction in duplicated work

Value: $223K

IT teams

Self-service access avoids 120 request tickets per year, while tool consolidation cuts visualization license costs by 50%.

720h saved per year for IT

Value: $111K

The study combines customer interviews with a risk-adjusted financial model built around a representative composite organization with 10,000 employees.

Data discovery

Before, data was not always gathered in the same database or location, so it was very difficult to merge and cross-analyze data. It was a game changer for us to have Huwise.

We managed to reduce our dependence on IT, and saved time and money by using some features directly on the Huwise platform.
