Officials said the new deployment makes the business intelligence tool available to all businesses since it does not require a server or single-tenancy cloud.

“This makes one of our most impactful and utilized business intelligence tools universally available to all of our current and future retail partners,” said Vice President of Sales Mark Ricciardi. “Our development team tackled the challenge of making a technology formerly restrained by technical infrastructure available to cloud clients of all sizes and at an affordable price.”

Historically, Data Warehouse required a server or single tenancy cloud. The new model allows retailers on a shared cloud environment to take advantage of this powerful tool, Ricciardi said. As the majority of retailers are choosing the cloud platform including enterprise retailers, changing how Data Warehouse is hosted was an important shift.

He said Cloud Data Warehousing is not just new to Storis, but is a relatively new tool in the IT world.

Data Warehouse provides retailers with the ability to store static data outside of their transactional retail system for the purpose of data mining. Its applications include building user-defined queries to uncover strategic intelligence.
