Physically replicating, moving and storing data multiple times is expensive. DV creates a virtual data layer which eliminates the need for replication or storage costs.
It is a faster way to manage data
Rather than having to wait hours or even days for your result with traditional data integration method, DV provides result in real time.
It complements traditional data warehousing

It is more agile than traditional methods
DV technology includes prototyping capabilities, meaning you can test out your strategy before implementing it on an enterprise scale.
