Becoming Masters of Data and Analytics

To stay competitive in an increasingly digital world, businesses must become masters of data. By 2020, more than seven billion people and companies, and at least 35 billion devices, will be wired to the web. Success now depends on not only keeping up with fast-paced digital innovation, but also harnessing the continual data explosion it creates; and this will mean a sizable shift in the way companies handle their insights.

In this new report, Gartner identifies the challenges digitization presents for organizations, and how professionals such as CIOs can harness its key drivers; focusing on six core strategic planning areas. This research provides a multi-regional, cross-industry view of the approaches and tools that will be critical for organizations to not only survive, but thrive.
