The ELT model offers several benefits when used in the modern, cloud-based environment. Here are a few:

Flexibility in data use: The ELT model lets analysts use the raw, untransformed data to run new and/or different provisioning or transformations to fulfill the end-use case. 

Scalability: One of the main advantages of a cloud-based system is its scalability — its nearly infinite storage capacity. The modern cloud data warehouse separates storage from compute resources, enhancing scalability. 

Low maintenance: As a general rule, ELT requires little maintenance, as ELT tools tend to automate the process.
