The pandemic taught us that the greatest weapon against uncertainty is information. Companies that had already begun their data and digital transformations before COVID fared far better as the market shifted. So it should come as no surprise that in response to our annual Talend Data Health Barometer survey, 99% of our respondents said that data is important to their organization. As a company whose entire existence is dedicated to helping other businesses maximize the value of their data, we couldn’t be happier with that stat. Half our job is already done — you value the data you have. Here’s the not-so-good news. While nearly everyone knows that data is important, almost no one is able to use it to its full potential. No exaggerations here: fully 97% of our survey cohort admitted that their organizations are dealing with challenges in using data effectively. There is still a lot of work ahead, and the pressure to get it right is increasing. With a full-fledged recession looming, businesses that are successful at making data management a priority now are much more likely to weather an economic downturn successfully — and emerge on the other side with an established competitive advantage.
