Managed analytics is the latest of a growing list of cloud-based services. Does it deliver value that exceeds the hype? We look into what led to its development and what it might deliver in the form of benefits and capabilities.
We are really not surprised that MAaaS has become a managed service. Development of cloud services makes third-party data analytics a natural. Consider what drives MAaaS development:
- Demand for scarce data science practitioners. There have never been enough data scientists to meet demand. Rather than bust their budgets by bidding for scarce talent, IT managers took a good look at the analytics services model. And they liked what they saw.
- Higher prices and project risk. When companies contracted BI and analytics services through fixed-price or T&M consulting models, costs and risks rose. It was enough to make many sourcing managers move to the third-party analytics via subscription model.
- Cloud services that are increasingly reliable and secure. Add IT evolution to demand for analytics services and the desire to control costs and risks. Cloud-based process improvements drive managers to a less expensive, more reliable managed service model.
Never Fall Behind, Never Lose Focus on Business
These strategies developed when business users wanted powerful, newly developed analytics capabilities without the steep hiring and infrastructure costs. MAaaS was the ideal answer to the need for a systematic, consistent way to make sense of big data.
Once the domain of large companies with super-deep pockets and a data center of their own, managed analytics offers the latest of an ever-changing set of tools, standards and methods. When you subscribe to MAaaS, you’re unlikely to fall behind in terms of what you (versus your competitor) can do.
