AWS delivers an integrated suite of services that help quickly and easily build and manage a data lake for analytics. AWS-powered data lakes can handle the scale, agility, and flexibility required to combine different types of data and analytics approaches to gain deeper insights. AWS gives customers a wide array of analytics and machine learning services for easy access to all relevant data, without compromising on security or governance.

IDC conducted research that explored the value and benefits for organizations of using the AWS data lakes, analytics, and machine learning services. The project included 11 interviews with organizations that were using this solution and had experience with or knowledge about its benefits and costs. During the interviews, companies were asked a variety of quantitative and qualitative questions about its impact on their IT, data lakes and warehousing, and analytics operations, as well as on their businesses and costs.
