GLOBAL DATA INSIGHTS SURVEY – HOW DID WE GET HERE?

Data explosion is happening everywhere – Every country.
Every industry. Every business.

The proliferation of data brings the challenge of Data Gravity, but when companies can access this data, they are also able to access a wealth of opportunities through data-driven insights.

The Global Data Insights Survey tells us

That data-driven insights provide business value through:

  • Customer experience and satisfaction improvement
  • Data and infrastructure location strategy
  • Development of new digital products and services
To compete in the digital era, businesses must collect, control and exchange massive amounts of data while considering more complicating factors – speed, security, cost efficiency and regulatory compliance, namely – than ever before.

As business and technology leaders observe these changes, they are already finding solutions by investing in data-first infrastructure and strategies.

68%
of companies will add new business points of presence in the next two years.

47%
of companies have decentralized their data architecture, bringing data closer to their users.

75%
of companies with 1B+ in revenue are planning or enacting a formal data strategy.
