Organizations that want to focus on analyzing data are instead spending their time and resources finding data and defending their analysis, according to a 2014 study conducted by Unisphere Research and sponsored by IBM. The study found that while the percentage of organizations with big data projects in production was expected to triple within 18 months, business managers have less confidence in data from new sources than in traditional, structured data from within the enterprise.

Review the survey results to learn what is keeping companies from launching initiatives based on new technologies and how information governance initiatives are faring when they compete with other priorities for scarce resources.
