Talend Unveils Results of CIO Survey: 80 Percent Planning Big Data Projects in 2017Talend (NASDAQ: TLND), a global leader in cloud and big data integration solutions, today released the findings of a survey of 169 IT decision makers, indicating big data, analytics and governance top the list of priorities in 2017. The findings show real-time analytics, metadata management, and self-service data access make up nearly 70 percent of the projects IT leaders intend to execute in 2017, as they get their data in shape to pursue artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in the future. The survey, conducted at Talend Connect Paris, reveals that while the push toward digital transformation continues to be a focus, CIOs are also being challenged to spend both time and budget maintaining day-to-day business operations. As a result, their focus for the year ahead is split between technology advancement and "keeping the lights on." "Even today's savviest digital leaders recognize that technology alone doesn't make companies more data-driven," said Ashley Stirrup, Talend's chief marketing officer. "Instead, they understand the importance of blending the right people, processes, and technologies neded to increase the strategic value of their data. These leaders create a culture that views data as a strategic asset that should be infused into every step of a decision-making process. This discipline delivers the business agility needed to remain competitive in today's marketplace." The most notable CIO insights revealed by the survey include:
"Aligning data-consumption and data-management priorities can lead to a constructive friction in the enterprise, said Toph Whitmore, principal analyst covering big data and analytics at Blue Hill Research. "Leadership is challenged to ensure the success of both the IT managers serving data and the line-of-business stakeholders acting upon it. That's easier said than done, especially when romantic expectations of all-you-can-eat self-service exceed limits of enterprise data governance mandates. But when self-service is delivered in a timely, transparent, governed way, IT leadership ensures security, provides trusted data services and ultimately informs the right business action downstream in the DataOps workflow."
