    Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence Staffing Ratios

    For businesses today, properly scaling business intelligence applications while controlling support costs is a difficult challenge. This study provides benchmarks for staffing the data warehouse (DW) and business intelligence (BI) functions. We provide the ratio of DW/BI staff to total IT staff for the composite sample and by organization size and sector. We also present two other metrics for benchmarking this function: applications per DW/BI staff member and terabytes of storage per DW/BI staff member.(19 pp., 11 figs.) [Research Byte]

We provide the ratio of data warehouse/BI staff to total IT staff for the composite sample and by organization size.
