Keynote | How data leader organizations globally and in APJ are driving higher business value

Discussing the latest CDO Trends 2022 on how data leader organizations globally and in APJ are driving higher business value from data by addressing fragmentation and complexity across different dimensions – data, technology, and people. APJ organizations have higher numbers of data sources to manage (compared to other regions) so data fragmentation more pertinent in this region. The importance of data fragmentation is clear – leader organizations in APJ are 64% more likely to spend time on data management compared to reactive organizations. To solve issues due to data fragmentation, leader organizations ease access to data, leverage cloud, and use AI to aid in management activities, enabling them to extract more business value.
