Survey methodology
Objectives
Organizations continue seeking new ways to capitalize on their ever-growing data to increase revenue, delight customers, and scale operations while meeting increased demands for security and operational resilience and regulatory requirements.
Priorities
These rising demands require increased investment in technology, practices, and skills. IT decision makers need insight about their unique data requirements to help guide when and where to invest.
Respondents
This report is based on a global survey of 1,100 professionals and executives in data, business, and IT roles across 11 countries, conducted by 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence in Fall 2023 and commissioned by BMC. As part of a phased, multiyear analysis related to data management, DataOps, and data-driven business outcomes, the survey and report uncover insights into how organizations can assess and enhance their data maturity to help overcome challenges in how to use data for competitive advantage.
Data maturity
At this level, data management strategy is developing, but practices and architecture may not yet be closely linked to critical business outcomes. This maturity level is commonly associated with smaller organizations and businesses that are just beginning to establish and operationalize their practices.
Data maturity
Variables like leadership buy-in, internal skills availability, and regulatory history can influence where an organization sits on the data management or DataOps maturity curves, and shape how effectively it pursues improvement and optimization of its practices.
