Data is everywhere. With the growing interconnectedness of people, companies and devices, we are now accumulating increasing amounts of data from an ever-widening variety of channels. New data (or combinations of data) enable innovative use cases and assist in optimizing internal processes. As a result, data is set to have a significant effect on tomorrow's business and will undoubtedly become a value-adding factor. The BARC survey ‘How To Rule Your Data World’ examines the current status and actions of companies that have implemented or are planning to implement data governance. The study is based on a survey of 378 participants from 64 countries across a range of industries.
The survey was prepared by BARC, an independent market analysis firm. This preview is available free of charge thanks to sponsorship by Ab Initio, Denodo, MarkLogic and SAS.
