This all translates to competitive advantage and differentiation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The global survey asked respondents to rate their organizations according to Gartner&#8217;s five levels of maturity for data and analytics (see Figure 1). It found that 60 percent of respondents worldwide rated themselves in the lowest three levels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Figure 1. Overview of the Maturity Model for Data and Analytics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: Gartner (February 2018)<\/p>\n<p>The survey revealed that 48\u00a0percent of organizations in Asia Pacific (APAC) reported their data and analytics maturity to be in the top two levels. This compares to 44 percent in North America and just 30 percent in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).<\/p>\n<p>The majority of respondents worldwide assessed themselves at level three (34 percent) or level four (31 percent). Twenty-one percent of respondents were at level two, and 5 percent at the basic level, level one.

Enhancing customer experience and development of new products were the joint second most common uses, with 31 percent of respondents listing each issue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2962 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/blog-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/blog-2.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/blog-2-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/blog-2-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/blog-2-678x1024.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0A worldwide survey* of 196 organizations by Gartner, Inc. showed that 91 percent of organizations have not yet reached a\u00a0&#8220;transformational&#8221;\u00a0level of maturity in data and\u00a0analytics, despite this area being a\u00a0number one investment priority for CIOs\u00a0in recent years. &#8220;Most organizations should be doing better with data and analytics, given the potential benefits,&#8221; said\u00a0Nick Heudecker, research vice [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2961"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2961\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2963,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2961\/revisions\/2963"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
