Amazon re:Invent is always a rewarding experience, providing not only opportunities to demonstrate Panoply’s automated data warehouse solutions to thousands of IT professionals, but also to gather feedback from industry professionals, as a means to gauge cloud-industry trends and understand the market’s most pressing needs. In that spirit, the company conducted a survey during our time at re:Invent 2016 that offers insight into today’s use of data warehousing systems, in particular Redshift, while also exposing users’ biggest challenges and advantages.The survey includes input from more than 800 re:Invent attendees who answered a ten-question survey, investigating level of satisfaction with their current data warehousing solution and exploring more deeply the grounds for their responses. The respondents come from diverse sectors, and hold a wide variety of positions or specialties within their organizations.
