  • More visibility into the Azure usage and cost
  • It can be used a hot storage and old data can be archived to data lake. Real time data integration is possible via external tables and Microsoft Power BI

  • It's actually hard to answer the question as it is built up, sorry. But imagine, you are used to [sending] paper letters to your customers. What are your spending [on] the letters? You have some imagination, however, but let's develop a simple chart showing your spendings related to any other spendings, or, more descriptively, compared with expected profit. Oh, my! Is it really so much? What about some e-mail campaign next time? We can talk about dozens of similar examples, folks. Until data is seen in graphical format, it's just some opinion on what's going on in our businesses.
  • Using Synapse Analytics as well as any other cloud resource needs a big change to the administrator's mindset. Basically, the cloud is not just about technical skills like "I love the MPP approach of data processing", but it is about, says, economies of operations. Scaling stuff up and down, pausing servers, this is what the utilization of the cloud is all about! Go and mention it to people!

  • It definitely has a positive impact on ROI. We are able to use it to generate MORE revenue through predictive analytics and pricing optimization.
  • Because of the SQL Data Warehouse design, we're able to set up some self service reporting tools which allow our users to generate reports ad hoc instead of having a full time employee creating these by hand.
  • Having visibility into the data is very useful for management to make good business decisions.
