The report also identifies the missing link of
data management—DataOps—which can help organizations harness more
of their data’s value and lead to better business outcomes.
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader in data
storage and management solutions, today released Rethink Data: Put
More of Your Data to Work—From Edge to Cloud. The report—based on a
survey of 1500 global enterprise leaders, which was commissioned by
Seagate and conducted by the research firm IDC—identifies today’s
most pressing data management challenges, and solutions to them. It
pinpoints the amount of data available to enterprises that goes
unused: 68%.

“The report and the survey make clear that winning businesses
must have strong mass data operations,” says Seagate CEO Dave
Mosley. “The value that a company derives from data directly
affects its success.”
The most significant findings include:
- Data management is increasingly important as data proliferates.
IDC projects that over the next two years enterprise data will grow
at a 42.2% annual rate.
- Only 32% of data available to enterprises is put to work. The
remaining 68% is unleveraged.
- The top five barriers to putting data to work are: 1) making
collected data usable, 2) managing the storage of collected data,
3) ensuring that needed data is collected, 4) ensuring the security
of collected data, and 5) making the different silos of collected
data available.
- Managing data in the multicloud and hybrid cloud are top data
management challenges expected by businesses over the next two
years.
- Two thirds of survey respondents report insufficient data
security, making data security an essential element of any
discussion of efficient data management.
The report identifies the missing link of data management: data
operations, or DataOps. IDC defines DataOps as “the discipline
connecting data creators with data consumers.” While the majority
of respondents say that DataOps is “very” or “extremely” important,
only 10% of organizations report having implemented DataOps fully.
The survey demonstrated that, along with other data management
solutions, DataOps leads to measurably better business outcomes. It
boosts customer loyalty, revenue, profit, cost savings, plus
results in other benefits.
"The findings of this study illustrating that more than
two-thirds of available data lies fallow in organizations may seem
like disturbing news," said Phil Goodwin, research director, IDC
and principal analyst on the study. "But in truth, it shows how
much opportunity and potential organizations already have at their
fingertips. Organizations that can harness the value of their data
wherever it resides—core, cloud or edge—can generate significant
competitive advantage in the marketplace."
The survey queried 1500 respondents—500 in the Asia Pacific and
Japan region, 475 in Europe, 375 respondents in North America, and
150 in China.
