While companies continue to invest in teams of data experts, a Fivetran survey suggests that adding more data analytics wizards might not be the solution.

The survey found that during the course of a workday, data analysts spend less than half their time actually analyzing data.

More than 60 percent of respondents reported wasting time waiting for engineering resources several times each month and often spending one-third of every workday just trying to access data.

"The struggles data professionals face in simply doing their work and the time they waste is astounding," said George Fraser, CEO of Fivetran.

As enterprises strive to optimize decision-making in a rapidly evolving global economic landscape, the study indicates that enabling analysts to spend more time analyzing and less time finding, fixing and stabilizing data will drive better decisions and increased profits.
