Prior Challenges
Drivers for organizational investment
Long delay in
finding answers to
key business
problems
Decentralized data
access
Resource constraints
around data workers
Unable to perform data
analyses across certain
disparate data sources in

Creating a business case
for Denodo’s Data
Virtualization Software
Forrester created a composite organization
to convey the aggregate financial analysis
Composite Organization
Key Assumptions:
•$5 billion in annual revenue
•Industry: Financial Services
•Global geography
•420 dataset requests per year
•15 data scientists
•Annual operations budget of $1 billion
•Prior environment includes ETL
processes, a mix of on-prem and cloud
data storage, and a data warehouse

12
Life sciences – Global, Director of Enterprise Architecture, $43 billion in annual
revenue
Financial services – Global, Lead Architect & Head of Data, $13 billion in annual
revenue
Manufacturing – Global, IT Manager for Big Data & AI Services, $2.8 billion in
annual revenue
Real estate – Global, VP of Data & Analytics, $170 billion in assets
Forrester interviewed four customers of Denodo’s data
virtualization software

“Denodo is the right tool
for collaborative,
flexible work and giving
the business more room
to create flexible
applications for the
future. It’s proved so
until today.”

deliver datasets.”

FINANCIAL IMPACT
“Time-wise and project-wise, Denodo
is giving you a lot of advantages over
an ETL process, and this helps
tremendously for many, many projects,
especially where people need very
fast data available to work with. With
Denodo, they do not even know how
the quality is, what they can do with it,
how to combine it, and then you can
do this very first connection without
the need of building ETL processes or
moving data to do some systems.”
$1.7M
Denodo helps reduce the
time it takes for data
workers to fulfill dataset
deliveries over legacy
ETL processes. Denodo
automatically integrates
disparate data sources,
optimizes query requests,
and builds in a centralized
governance architecture
so that organizations can
access the data they
need faster.

“With Denodo, technical people don’t need
training because the software is intuitive to
them. And now, we can serve an audience that
we’ve never been able to serve before - our
business users. They can actually increase
their technical skills to be able to be more
self-sufficient and answering their own
questions with data now.”

THREE-YEAR
FINANCIAL IMPACT
“With Denodo, we’re probably
saving $400,000 a year. The
flip side of that is Denodo has
allowed us to do a lot more so
now, we’ve grown that
footprint and we’ve replaced
that $400,000 with a whole
bunch of new things we can
never do in the old world.”
$1.5M
Denodo can gradually
replace existing ETL
processes with a faster,
more reliable data
virtualization layer,
without forcing an
organization to retire
these processes all at
once or affecting end-user
experience. Denodo’s
features can also allow
organizations to retire
now-redundant legacy
software systems, saving
on licensing fees and
support costs.

THREE-YEAR
FINANCIAL IMPACT
“As an industry standard, 30% of
a data science project is spent on
data wrangling and data curation.
And we’ve been able to remove
that 30% almost entirely because
of the way that we organize data
with these building blocks. That’s
a direct result of the fact that we
can logically model our data
within Denodo.”
$698K
Denodo automatically
integrates data across
disparate sources,
allowing data scientists to
quickly and intuitively
conduct the queries they
need to perform
modeling. Denodo’s
software also ensures
that the data being
analyzed for modeling is
consistent, quality, and
secure through its
governance and security
features.

“For instance, we took the error logs
from our transaction systems and
combined it with our enterprise
reporting on customer profitability in
order to identify which product that
we could decommission. We found
a gap between what we spent and
what we earned of around two
million dollars a year. It was really a
very low effort for us, and it was just
the sort of use case that we couldn’t
do before because we can combine
those data sets.”

Denodo’s data
virtualization software
enables organizations to
create complex datasets
using real-time data
across multiple data
sources that they were
not able to create before.
These new datasets can

“Let's say it took our data science
team three months to write this
model for a study, and now we can
get that down to one week, we are
increasing the probability that the
study succeeds as opposed to
slowing it down and we can release
our product. These are multimillion
dollar products, so even delaying
them one day can be a million
dollars or more.”
$1.2M
With Denodo,
organizations can
leverage new datasets
that they did not have the
capabilities to create
before. These new
datasets can inform
revenue-driving projects,
which improve the
bottom-line. Denodo can
also improve the speed at
which existing
revenue-driving projects
are completed, improving
the time-to-value.
