Organizations have embarked on the journey to be data-driven for years. However, organizations are now accelerating their digital transformation initiatives to meet increasing changes in the operational landscape and in data analytics.

Data-driven decision-making (and ensuring related investment is delivering on its promises) has been elevated in importance. What are the latest best practices? Where are your data gaps? How well does your organization stack up to your peers?

This timely research report details and summarizes key findings from EMA’s comprehensive study of enterprises conducted in the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
