In today's enterprise landscape, there's a persistent myth that more data automatically equals more value. The reality? Most enterprises are drowning in data they rarely use while paying premium prices to store it. But the problem goes deeper than storage costs – it’s about understanding what users actually want to know from your data. 

The Hidden Cost of Data Hoarding

When we talk to enterprises about their data strategy, we often hear ambitious plans about data lakes, warehouses, clean rooms, and AI initiatives. But when we dig deeper, a different story emerges:

• Most of their data sits untouched after 30 days

• They struggle to identify which datasets actually drive business decisions

• Storage costs keep climbing while data utilization remains flat

• Teams can't easily determine which data powers their most valuable insights

• Developers struggle to predict what questions users will ask

This isn't just a storage problem—it's a visibility and efficiency crisis. Enterprises are not only paying to maintain vast data repositories without understanding which pieces matter, they're also burning engineering resources trying to anticipate every possible user question.

The Real Data Paradox

Here's what's interesting: while enterprises meticulously track cloud compute costs and API usage, they rarely have clear visibility into which data actually drives value. It's like paying rent on a massive warehouse without knowing which SKUs customers are actually buying.

Most traditional solutions like data warehouses and BI tools tell you what data you have, but not what data you need. They show you storage patterns but miss the crucial element: user demand for specific data insights. Then, they force developers to write rigid, specific queries for each potential user question without visibility into how well their existing queries cover user needs. 

How Infactory Changes the Game

Data Utilization

Beyond the unparalleled query accuracy of our Unique Query Methodology™ (UQM), our platform gives you unprecedented visibility into how your deployed queries are actually being used:

• Query Pattern Analysis: See exactly which questions your users are asking most frequently

• Gap Intelligence: Identify what questions users are trying to ask that aren't covered by existing queries

• Usage Trending: Track which data sources are becoming more or less relevant over time

• Value Mapping: Connect data storage costs directly to business value through query utilization metrics

Query Generation 

With Infactory, engineers no longer have to pre-emptively think of every potential question a user could ask about their data. Infactory’s Slottable Query™ architecture analyzes your data and automatically generates recommended dynamic query templates that adapt to business needs, allowing end users to ask a variety of questions without needing to update code. Each deployed query covers a wide set of questions users could potentially ask about the data in your end product. In other words, each deployed query has endless possibilities - eliminating countless hours of manual programming so your team can focus on core features instead of trying to code for every possible scenario. 

The Path Forward: Intelligent Query Design

The future of enterprise data isn't about storing everything—it's about storing the right things and making them accessible in the right way.

Infactory's combination of Slottable Queries™ and query analytics enable you to:

• Generate flexible queries that adapt to business needs

• Build flexible APIs that directly address user needs

• Focus development efforts on high-impact data patterns

• Reduce engineering overhead 

• Make informed decisions about data retention

• Transform data from a cost center to a value driver

Beyond Big Data

While traditional platforms tell you what happened in your data, Infactory shows you what people want to know and helps you deliver those answers efficiently. This shift in perspective transforms how enterprises think about both data value and query development.

The question isn't "what data do we have?" but rather "what data drives value and what additional data do we need?" Infactory helps you answer all of these questions, turning your data infrastructure from a storage burden into a strategic asset.
